One of the most wanted AI applications was being able to ask questions about your own documents: contracts, manuals, notes, reports. The problem was that doing this with ChatGPT meant uploading your files to third-party servers.

privateGPT solves this radically: everything runs locally. You load your PDFs or text files, the program indexes them, and you can ask questions in plain language and get answers that cite their sources. No data leaves your computer.

For lawyers, doctors, journalists, or companies with confidential documents, this is the difference between being able to use AI and being blocked by compliance rules.
