AnythingLLM is an open-source AI application for chatting with documents and running AI agents locally and offline. It is made by Mintplex Labs, founded in 2022 and part of Y Combinator's Summer 2022 batch, and is positioned as a privacy-focused alternative to purely cloud-based AI assistants.
AnythingLLM processes documents including PDFs, Word files, CSVs, and codebases, and connects to custom or enterprise LLM providers such as OpenAI, Azure, and AWS, as well as locally-run models. It supports multi-modal input (text, images, audio), a built-in developer API, a community extension hub, and one-click LLM installation.
The desktop app runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux with no account required, and the software can also be self-hosted via Docker for teams that want full infrastructure control.
The desktop application and self-hosted Docker deployment are free and open source under the MIT license. Mintplex Labs also offers paid cloud hosting: a Basic plan at $50/month for individuals or teams under five users with under 100 documents, a Pro plan at $99/month for larger startups, and custom Enterprise pricing for on-premise installation, dedicated support SLAs, and white-label branding.
