    AI-powered research assistant for deep, iterative research

    Performs deep, iterative research using multiple LLMs and search engines with proper citations

    ▶️ Watch Review by The Art Of The Terminal

    AI research assistant you control. Run locally for privacy, use any LLM and build your own searchable knowledge base. You own your data and see exactly how it works.

    Open http://localhost:5000 after ~30 seconds.

    pip install (for programmatic/API usage):

    ⚠️ Docker is preferred for most users. pip installation requires manual setup of SQLCipher for database encryption—see SQLCipher Guide. Best suited for programmatic integration into existing Python projects.
