AnythingLLM
All-in-one private AI workspace — chat with documents, multi-user, local or cloud models.
Add AnythingLLM to your hut →AnythingLLM is a self-hostable AI workspace that combines document chat, RAG, and agent tools in one application. You connect local models (via Ollama) or cloud APIs, upload documents to a private vector store, and chat with your data — without sending anything to a third party. Multi-user support, custom agent tools, and a built-in embedding pipeline make it one of the most complete self-hostable AI platforms available. Popular for teams who want a private 'ChatGPT for our documents'.
Self-hosting is free and open-source. AnythingLLM Cloud starts at $20/mo for a managed version. Most often compared to PrivateGPT and open-source RAG stacks — AnythingLLM's edge is the polished all-in-one interface that requires no ML engineering to set up; DIY stacks are more flexible but take significant time to configure.
