DocsGPT

What it does

Ingests PDFs, Office files, web pages and audio, then answers questions grounded in them, with your choice of model - a cloud provider or something running locally - and the option to deploy on your own infrastructure. The important nuance: self-hosting alone does not keep your documents private; that depends on which model you point it at. Setup is server-side and command-line based, and a hosted cloud version exists too.

DocsGPT FAQ

Is DocsGPT free?

DocsGPT itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use DocsGPT?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does DocsGPT work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use DocsGPT commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
