This is an interesting demo, but it has some drawbacks I can already see:
- It’s Windows only (maybe Win11 only, the documentation isn’t clear)
- It only works with RTX 30 series and up
- It’s closed source, so you have no idea if they’re uploading your data somewhere
The concept is great, having an LLM to sort through your local files and help you find stuff, but it seems really limited.
I think you could get the same functionality(and more) by writing an API for text-gen-webui.

Interesting that it only works on windows, a lot of AI projects I’ve seen have been the other way around.
It will also be available as an open-source reference project, so developers can easily implement the same capabilities in their own applications.
Not truly open source but at least you can build your own and control what happens with all the data, if I understand this correctly?
