Langchain-Chatchat is a self-hosted application for asking questions about your own documents and using AI agents. It focuses on Chinese-language use and open models, with a fully offline setup that can keep documents and model processing on your hardware. Its code is open source under Apache 2.0.

text-generation-webui, also called TextGen, runs language models on your own hardware through a desktop app or a self-hosted browser interface. It's for people who want private chat and writing tools, and developers who need a local model API. It works offline without telemetry; web search and page fetching use the internet.

Continue is an open-source coding agent available as a CLI, VS Code extension and JetBrains plugin. Continue was acquired by Cursor, and the project is no longer actively maintained. Its repository is read-only, and its software uses the Apache 2.0 license.

Alpaca is an open source AI chat client for people who want to run models on their own device. It uses Ollama to download and manage local models, then lets you chat without an internet connection. Conversations stay on your device in SQLite files, and local models have no direct internet access.

Google ADK is an open-source AI agent framework for developers building applications that carry out multi-step tasks. You can run agents locally in Docker or on your own infrastructure, and connect them to locally running models through adapters. The framework is optimized for Gemini but supports other models and providers. Its Python repository uses the Apache 2.0 license.

KoboldCpp pairs local model inference with a browser interface built for chat, creative writing and roleplay. A fork of llama.cpp, it bundles KoboldAI Lite with tools for keeping character details and story context alongside your conversations. It's open source under AGPL-3.0.

Dyad turns a written idea into a working web app on your desktop. It's for people who want to build without starting from code, as well as developers who want to keep control of the result. The app requires no sign-up and runs on macOS and Windows. Your project files stay on your machine.

Inspect AI is a Python framework for researchers and developers testing language models and AI agents. Developed by the UK AI Security Institute and Meridian Labs, it evaluates coding, reasoning, knowledge, behavior and multimodal understanding, including tasks where agents must take actions to succeed.

Chatbox is an AI chat client for people who want local models and cloud providers in the same app. It connects to Ollama for local LLM use and supports GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek with your own API keys. Chatbox also offers its own hosted model service.

PrivateGPT is a self-hosted API layer for developers building AI applications around local models. It adds document retrieval, database access and agent tools to an existing model server. Local workflows can work offline and keep data within your environment; web search and connections to online providers need internet access.

Local Deep Research is a self-hosted AI research assistant for people who need cited answers drawn from academic papers, the web and their own documents. It can produce a quick summary or pursue a complex question through repeated searches, then assemble a structured report. It's open source under MIT.

smolagents is an open-source Python library for developers building AI agents that carry out tasks by writing and executing Python. Its CodeAgent can combine tool calls with loops, conditionals, and calculations in one action. This approach suits tasks that need several operations, rather than a single model response.

big-AGI is a browser-based AI workspace for researchers, developers and people who want to compare model answers before relying on them. Its Beam feature sends the same prompt to several models in parallel, without letting them see each other's replies. You can examine disagreements, then use Merge to combine the responses into a single answer with a preset or custom prompt.

avante.nvim brings Cursor-style AI assistance into Neovim for developers who want to keep their editor and choose their own model backend. It answers questions about code, suggests changes and applies edits directly to source files. The plugin is open source under Apache 2.0.

Podcastfy turns documents, websites and images into AI-generated audio conversations, with the option to write transcripts using a local LLM. It's an open-source Python alternative to NotebookLM's podcast feature for creators, educators and researchers who want control over the conversation format or need podcast generation inside their own software. It uses the Apache License 2.0.

Khoj is an AI assistant for people who want to ask questions across their own files, research the web, and give recurring work to agents. You can self-host it on your computer or server, or use Khoj's cloud app. It's open source under the GNU AGPL v3.0 license.

Vane (formerly Perplexica) is a self-hosted AI search engine for people who want answers drawn from web results, with citations they can check. It runs on your own hardware through Docker or as a server application, with a browser interface and locally stored search history. The project is free and open source under the MIT license.
