Khoj

Khoj is an AI personal assistant that helps you efficiently search and interact with your personal notes, documents, and images right from your desktop.

Khoj is an open-source application, which means you can check out its code on GitHub if you're curious. It's designed to work smoothly across various platforms like Emacs, Obsidian, and even your web browser. No matter what file formats you use—whether it’s JPEG images, Markdown files, Notion documents, org-mode notes, PDF files, or GitHub repositories—Khoj has you covered.

The main job of Khoj is to help you search through your data and chat with it, making the process super efficient. Thanks to its semantic search capabilities, it provides speedy results as you type, so you don’t have to wait around. With Khoj, you can search using natural language, which means you’ll get results based on related terms rather than just exact phrases, making it much more intuitive.

Another great feature of Khoj is that it works offline! This not only keeps your data private but also means you don’t have to rely on an internet connection, especially if you choose to self-host it on your own machine. This way, you stay in charge of your information.

Khoj aims to offer a customizable and transparent assistant experience. By learning from your personal notes and documents, it strives to be an extension of your own thinking, helping you make quicker, more informed decisions. It also includes chat capabilities that support natural conversations, making it easier to create, reason, and expand your knowledge.

If you’re a fan of plugins, you’ll appreciate that Khoj supports various integrations, with first-party plugins available for Emacs and Obsidian. You can access Khoj via your browser or an API, making it incredibly versatile.

Excitingly, Khoj is in the process of developing a cloud-hosted version for those who prefer an assistant that's always available without the fuss of self-hosting. Plus, if you want to share your thoughts or suggest new features, the Khoj Discord community is the perfect place to do so, as user feedback is highly valued.
