Khoj

KhojSince 2025-04

Khoj is an open-source AI desktop assistant and personal second brain that allows users to search, chat, and synthesize insights across their personal notes, documents, and code repositories. Operating seamlessly with local SLMs (via Ollama) or hosted frontier models, Khoj prioritizes user privacy and offline autonomy. Whether indexing Obsidian markdown vaults, PDF research papers, Emacs org-mode files, or browser bookmarks, Khoj acts as a unified knowledge retrieval agent that answers complex multi-hop questions directly from your private workspace.

Khoj supports scheduled automated research agents that browse the web, compile daily intelligence briefings, and synthesize relevant industry updates directly to your inbox or WhatsApp. The architecture combines dense embeddings with hybrid local vector indexes, ensuring sub-second response times on standard consumer laptops. Developers can run Khoj as a native desktop client, Emacs package, Obsidian plugin, or private self-hosted Docker server with complete offline privacy.
