This project provides a desktop AI chatbot application designed for speed and offline functionality, supporting a wide range of LLM providers and offering multi-modal capabilities. It targets users who need a fast, versatile, and privacy-conscious interface for interacting with various AI models.

How It Works

ChatWise acts as a unified client for multiple LLM APIs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Groq, and Ollama. It supports offline operation for locally hosted models via Ollama and offers native multi-modal input (audio, images) and text-to-speech output through integrations with services like OpenAI and ElevenLabs. File support includes native PDF handling for specific models and text extraction for others.
