Self-hosted AI assistant / RAG document chat / no-code agent workspace
AnythingLLM is a self-hosted, multi-user web/desktop app for chatting with documents using RAG, running no-code AI agents, and managing local/remote LLM providers.
Same problem, same approach. Swapping one for another is a config change, not a rewrite.
Same self-hosted multi-user LLM/RAG web app; prefer it if you want a pure web deployment with Python/Svelte-native architecture and broad model-provider support.
User-friendly AI Interface (Supports Ollama, OpenAI API, ...)
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
Choose it for a lightweight multi-platform chat client with bring-your-own API keys; it lacks AnythingLLM's document RAG and multi-user agent workspace.
✨ Light and Fast AI Assistant. Support: Web | iOS | MacOS | Android | Linux | Windows
Choose it for a scriptable Go-based personal agent with coding/browser/computer-use loops instead of a no-code graphical RAG/chat app.

Choose Jan for a fully offline local-model desktop assistant with built-in model management; it lacks AnythingLLM's server-side RAG and multi-user agent workflow.
Jan is an open source alternative to ChatGPT that runs 100% offline on your computer.
Choose Eko when you need an embeddable natural-language agentic-workflow builder/SDK rather than AnythingLLM's turnkey multi-user workspace.
