Khoj is a self-hostable personal AI assistant ('second brain') that answers questions from your own documents and the web using local or online LLMs. It supports custom agents, scheduled automations, semantic search, image generation, and voice, accessible via browser, Obsidian, Emacs, desktop, phone, or WhatsApp.
Use cases
- chat with my own documents using a local llm
- self-hosted chatgpt alternative over my notes
- semantic search across obsidian and markdown notes
- build custom ai agents with my own knowledge
- automate research and get newsletters from an ai
- query pdfs and notion docs with an ai assistant
- run an offline ai assistant on my computer
When to choose
- you want a private, self-hosted AI assistant over your personal docs
- you use Obsidian, Emacs, or WhatsApp and want AI integrated there
- you need RAG with support for local models like llama or mistral
- you want agents, automations, and deep research in one app
When to avoid
- you only need a simple hosted chatbot without self-hosting overhead
- you need a lightweight library to embed RAG in your own app rather than a full application
- you require enterprise SaaS support and managed infrastructure
