Stop renting your intelligence. Own it with AnythingLLM. Everything you need for a powerful local-first agent experience
AnythingLLM is an application for chatting with your own documents. You drop in PDFs, notes, spreadsheets or links, it indexes them, and then you ask questions and get answers drawn from those files rather than from the model's general training. It runs as a desktop app or in Docker, and it can point at a local model or at a commercial one, which is the reason many people choose it: the documents can stay on your own machine. It supports separate workspaces, so a set of client files does not bleed into a set of personal notes. Setting it up takes more than opening a website, and the quality of the answers depends heavily on how clean the source documents are, which is true of every tool in this category and is worth knowing before you judge it.
