OpenChat

Create, Run, and share your own ChatBot

OpenChat is a chatbot console that lets you easily use large language models for everyday conversations. It helps you overcome the complexity of installing and running these models by offering a simple two-step setup. You can create and manage multiple chatbots with different customizations using OpenChat.

What You Can Do with OpenChat

✔️Build as many local chatbots as you want using GPT-3 (and GPT-4 if available).

✔️Make your chatbots unique by adding PDF files, websites, and soon, integrations with platforms like Notion, Confluence, and Office 365.

✔️Interact smoothly with large files such as a 400-page PDF with each chatbot’s unlimited memory capacity.

✔️Place chatbots as widgets on your website or internal company tools.

✔️Leverage your entire codebase as a data source for your chatbots (pair programming mode).
