## What it is
ChatWise is a fast, privacy-friendly desktop AI chatbot client that connects to multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Ollama) using your own API keys or existing subscriptions. It supports multi-modal chat with files, images, audio, and PDFs, plus web search, artifacts rendering, and MCP tool integrations, with all data stored locally.

## Use cases
- chat with gpt-4 claude and gemini in one desktop app
- use my own api keys with an ai chat client
- chat with pdfs images and audio files using llms
- run a local ai chatbot that works offline with ollama
- connect ai to tools like notion and google sheets via mcp
- search the web from an ai chat interface
- use claude pro or github copilot subscription in a better chat ui
- text to speech for ai chat responses

## When to choose
- you want a single desktop client for multiple LLM providers with your own keys
- you need multi-modal chat with PDFs, images, and audio
- privacy matters and you want chat history stored locally
- you want MCP tool integration and web search in a chat app

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile app (not yet released)

- you need team collaboration or cloud sync of chat history
