Khoj — Personal Knowledge Companion

Khoj is a lightweight, open-source AI tool built to help you organize and find information in your own notes, documents, and images. It’s designed to feel like an extra cognitive aid, speeding up how you locate relevant material and supporting better, faster decisions.

Primary capabilities

  • Runs entirely offline when self-hosted, keeping your data private and accessible without an internet connection.
  • Uses semantic search to return relevant results from natural-language queries rather than exact keyword matches.
  • Learns from the content you feed it so its suggestions and answers become more tailored over time.
  • Supports conversational, multi-turn exchanges that let you refine questions and follow up naturally.

Supported environments and formats

  • Compatible with popular note-taking ecosystems such as Emacs and Obsidian, making it easy to slot into existing workflows.
  • Can index and query common file types, including PDFs, markdown files, and image formats like JPEG.
  • Distributed as open-source software so you can inspect, modify, and extend it to suit your needs.

Extensibility and integrations

  • Plugin support lets you add features or connect Khoj to other tools to expand its capabilities.
  • Chat-based interactions are enhanced by these integrations, enabling richer, contextual assistance across sessions.

Deployment options and future plans

  • The current focus is on self-hosting for maximum control and privacy, but a hosted cloud edition is in development.
  • The upcoming cloud service aims to provide a continuously available instance without the setup or maintenance overhead of running it yourself.
