I need an open-source AI front-end (use with openai api key) with following option:

  • Do web search
  • Chat with document as context
  • More Plugin

Please suggest me some open-source project that work.

The closest I know of is GPT4ALL which @[email protected] recommended on one of my posts. However (1) it does not use your OpenAI key but rather runs everything locally on your device, and (2) it cannot search the web out of the box. It does have plugin extensibility however.

The next closest I can think of is Perplexity which is connected to the internet and can chat based on files/documents. This one is not open source and still doesn’t use your OpenAI key, but it is free to use.

Both of those options are 100% free with unlimited use.

Perplexity seem work for me.

GPT4all is not work because

  • it is soooo difficult to install on Ubuntu (missing dependencies)
  • slow and consume lot of CPU to get similar gpt3.5 capacity.
