Khoj

Khoj is an AI personal assistant in the form of a desktop application that helps you search and interact with your personal notes, documents, and images. It's an open-source tool, and its code is available on GitHub.

Khoj is made to work with platforms like Emacs, Obsidian, and web browsers. It handles different file types, including jpeg, markdown, notion, org-mode, pdf files, and GitHub repositories. The main purpose of Khoj is to allow users to efficiently search and chat with their data.

It uses semantic search and provides very fast search results as you type. Khoj uses AI models to understand natural language, so it can find results based on similar words instead of exact matches.

An important feature is that Khoj operates offline, which keeps your data private and means you don't need an internet connection when you host it yourself. The tool aims to give a personal assistant experience that is clear and can be customized.

By learning from your notes and documents, Khoj aims to become like an extension of your own mind, helping you make decisions faster and better. You can self-host it on your own computer to keep control over your data. Khoj's chat feature allows for natural conversations with multiple turns for creating, thinking, and expanding on what you already know.

Khoj also works with plugins, and there are first-party plugins for Emacs and Obsidian. You can access its interface through browsers and an API. Khoj is working on a cloud version for people who want an assistant that's always available without needing to self-host.

The Khoj Discord community is a place where users can give feedback, share their thoughts, and suggest features they want to see prioritized.
