# AnythingLLM

> Open-source AI app for documents, agents and local models

AnythingLLM is an open-source AI application from Mintplex Labs for chatting with local or cloud models, your own documents and AI agents. The free desktop app runs on the device with no account and includes a meeting assistant, web search and system-wide dictation and autocomplete tools. Teams can self-host a multi-user version with Docker at no charge or pay for a hosted cloud instance, and an Android app runs small models on the phone.

## Ways to pay less

- **Free self-hosting with Docker** (Other savings): The multi-user version sold as hosted cloud plans from $50 a month can instead be self-hosted with Docker for free under the MIT license. Source: https://anythingllm.com/cloud

## Key features

- **Chat with your documents:** Documents you add become part of the assistant's knowledge base. In the desktop app they are processed on the device and no data leaves it.
- **Local or cloud models:** Recommends a local model to suit your hardware and needs no API key, and can also connect cloud providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
- **Agents and custom skills:** Agents can search and scrape the web, read, write and search local files, run recurring background jobs and use custom agent skills.
- **Meeting Assistant:** Transcribes and summarizes meetings on your own computer, producing action items, key decisions and a full transcript with no bot joining the call.
- **Magic Echo, Beacon and Tab:** System-wide dictation, questions about highlighted text and autocomplete on Windows and macOS. Each has a daily free allowance that an AnythingLLM Pro subscription removes.
- **Multi-user deployment:** The Docker and hosted cloud versions serve several users on one server with isolated tenants, fine-grained admin controls and white-label branding.

## Good for

- Chatting with private documents without sending them to a cloud service
- Teams that want a self-hosted, multi-user AI workspace
- Meeting transcripts and summaries produced on the device

## Worth knowing

- The hosted cloud has no built-in LLM and does not support custom agents or MCP; you connect your own model provider.
- Magic Echo, Beacon and Tab have daily free limits. The Pro subscription that removes them is priced on a checkout page that could not be read.
- Magic features and AnythingLLM Pro work on Windows and macOS only, and the mobile app is for Android only.
- Hosted cloud instances have no GPU, and the docs warn that embedding very large documents can crash an instance on the lower tier.
