A full-stack application that enables you to turn any document, resource, or piece of content into context that any LLM can use as references 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.

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.

Some cool features of AnythingLLM

• Multi-user instance support and permissioning
• Agents inside your workspace (browse the web, run code, etc)
• Custom Embeddable Chat widget for your website
• Multiple document type support (PDF, TXT, DOCX, etc)
• Manage documents in your vector database from a simple UI
• Two chat modes conversation and query. Conversation retains previous questions and amendments. Query is simple QA against your documents
• In-chat citations
• 100% Cloud deployment ready.
• "Bring your own LLM" model.
• Extremely efficient cost-saving measures for managing very large documents. You'll never pay to embed a massive document or transcript more than once. 90% more cost effective than other document chatbot solutions.
• Full Developer API for custom integrations!

• server: A NodeJS express server to handle all the interactions and do all the vectorDB management and LLM interactions.
• collector: NodeJS express server that process and parses documents from the UI.
• docker: Docker instructions and build process + information for building from source.
• embed: Code specifically for generation of the embed widget.

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:

• Typ 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. Let's us know which vector database provider is the most used to prioritize changes when updates arrive for that provider.
• Type of LLM in use. Let's us know the most popular choice and prioritize changes when updates arrive for that provider.
• 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.
