A full-stack application that enables you to turn any document, resource, or piece of content into context that any LLM can use as a reference during chatting. This application allows you to pick and choose which LLM or Vector Database you want to use as well as supporting multi-user management and permissions.

Watch the demo!

Product Overview

AnythingLLM is a full-stack application where you can use commercial off-the-shelf LLMs or popular open source LLMs and vectorDB solutions to build a private ChatGPT with no compromises that you can run locally as well as host remotely and be able to chat intelligently with any documents you provide it.

AnythingLLM divides your documents into objects called workspaces. A Workspace functions a lot like a thread, but with the addition of containerization of your documents. Workspaces can share documents, but they do not talk to each other so you can keep your context for each workspace clean.

How to setup for development

yarn setup To fill in the required .env files you'll need in each of the application sections (from root of repo).
- Go fill those out before proceeding. Ensure server/.env.development is filled or else things won't work right.
yarn dev:server To boot the server locally (from root of repo).
yarn dev:frontend To boot the frontend locally (from root of repo).
yarn dev:collector To then run the document collector (from root of repo).

Telemetry & Privacy

AnythingLLM by Mintplex Labs Inc contains a telemetry feature that collects anonymous usage information.

More about Telemetry & Privacy for AnythingLLM

Why?

We use this information to help us understand how AnythingLLM is used, to help us prioritize work on new features and bug fixes, and to help us improve AnythingLLM's performance and stability.

Opting out

Set DISABLE_TELEMETRY in your server or docker .env settings to "true" to opt out of telemetry. You can also do this in-app by going to the sidebar > Privacy and disabling telemetry.

What do you explicitly track?

We will only track usage details that help us make product and roadmap decisions, specifically:

Type of your installation (Docker or Desktop)
When a document is added or removed. No information about the document. Just that the event occurred. This gives us an idea of use.
Type of vector database in use. This helps us prioritize changes when updates arrive for that provider.
Type of LLM provider & model tag in use. This helps us prioritize changes when updates arrive for that provider or model, or combination thereof. eg: reasoning vs regular, multi-modal models, etc.
When a chat is sent. This is the most regular "event" and gives us an idea of the daily-activity of this project across all installations. Again, only the event is sent - we have no information on the nature or content of the chat itself.

You can verify these claims by finding all locations Telemetry.sendTelemetry is called. Additionally these events are written to the output log so you can also see the specific data which was sent - if enabled. No IP or other identifying information is collected. The Telemetry provider is PostHog - an open-source telemetry collection service.

We take privacy very seriously, and we hope you understand that we want to learn how our tool is used, without using annoying popup surveys, so we can build something worth using. The anonymous data is never shared with third parties, ever.
