Chatd is an Electron desktop application that lets you chat with your local documents using a local large language model (Mistral-7B) via Ollama. It bundles the LLM runner so everything runs on your machine with no data sent to the cloud.

Use cases

• chat with pdf documents locally
• ask questions about my files with a private AI
• run a local LLM to summarize documents
• query documents offline without sending data to the cloud
• chat with documents using ollama
• private document Q&A on my desktop

When to choose

• you want a fully private, offline document chat experience with no setup
• you want a bundled LLM runner so you don't have to install Ollama separately
• you prefer a simple desktop GUI over CLI tools

When to avoid

• you need cloud-scale models or the highest answer quality from frontier LLMs
• you need to index very large document collections at scale
• you need a web-based or multi-user deployment
