khoj — Your AI second brain for self-hostable, personalized knowledge and automation

Overview

Khoj is an open-source, self-hostable AI platform that acts as a personal assistant, capable of interfacing with various local and online LLMs. It offers a range of functionalities, from retrieving answers from the web and documents to creating custom agents and automating repetitive tasks. Khoj stands out for its flexibility, allowing users to access it through various interfaces and its ability to scale from personal use to enterprise-level applications.

Key Features

Integration with various local and online LLMs (e.g., llama3, qwen, gemma, mistral, gpt, claude, gemini, deepseek)
Answers retrieval from the internet and various document formats (PDF, Markdown, Notion, Word, etc.)
Accessible through Browser, Obsidian, Emacs, Desktop, Phone, or Whatsapp
Custom agent creation with tunable personality, tools, and knowledge bases
Advanced semantic search for document retrieval
Image generation, text-to-speech, and message playback capabilities

Use Cases

Researchers and academics using Khoj to automate literature reviews and gather research materials
Enterprises leveraging Khoj for internal knowledge management and customer service automation
Individuals using Khoj as a personal assistant for daily tasks and information retrieval

Advantages

Open-source and self-hostable, ensuring privacy and control over data
Supports a wide range of document types and integrations, enhancing versatility
Customizable agents allow for tailored interactions and specialized tasks

Limitations / Considerations

Requires technical knowledge for self-hosting and setup
Performance may be dependent on the underlying hardware and network infrastructure
Customization and advanced features might require a steeper learning curve

OpenAI's GPT: A large-scale language model, but not as integrated with various LLMs or self-hostable like Khoj.
Rasa: An open-source machine learning framework for automated text and voice-based conversations, lacking Khoj's focus on document retrieval and LLM integration.
LangChain: A framework for building applications with LLMs, but without Khoj's emphasis on personalization and document handling.
