chatd is an open-source desktop application that allows users to interact with their documents through a locally running large language model. The software focuses on privacy and security by ensuring that all document processing and inference occur entirely on the user’s computer without sending data to external cloud services. It includes a built-in integration with the Ollama runtime, which provides a cross-platform environment for running large language models locally. The application typically runs models such as Mistral-7B and allows users to load and analyze documents while asking questions in natural language. Unlike many document-chat tools that require manual installation of model servers, chatd packages the model runner with the application so that users can start interacting with documents immediately after launching the program.

Features

  • Desktop application for chatting with documents using local language models
  • Integrated Ollama runtime that manages local model execution automatically
  • Support for document analysis and conversational querying
  • Offline processing that keeps all user data on the local machine
  • Compatibility with models such as Mistral-7B and other Ollama models
  • Cross-platform distribution using an Electron-based desktop environment
