Visible document workflow
Folder path, search settings, answer surface, and source evidence stay in view instead of disappearing behind setup flows.
Local AI for documents / source-backed answers / OCR-ready PDFs
Local AI for private documents, PDFs, and folders.
Chat with local documents, search OCR PDFs and scans, and get answers with source passages without sending sensitive files to the cloud.
Why teams take it seriously
LocalRAG is built for private document search, not demo-friendly uploads.
It starts with your real working folder: PDFs, scans, notes, mixed formats, and multilingual files.
Starts from the folder you already use
Point LocalRAG at a local folder and begin. No mandatory upload flow and no default cloud handoff.
Answers you can verify
Open the passage behind the answer and check what the model actually used.
Handles messy document sets
OCR PDFs, scans, uneven filenames, mixed languages, notes, and half-clean archives.
Search controls stay visible
Models, embeddings, retrieval depth, and response roles stay in the interface instead of disappearing into side config.
What the product keeps visible
Local document search stays understandable from question to answer.
Folder path, answer language, retrieval settings, models, and supporting passages stay visible before and after each question.
Connect the folder you already work in
Use the directory you already rely on, including OCR PDFs, scans, notes, and mixed content.
Chat with documents and inspect the source
Read the answer, open the retrieved passages, and check what the model actually used.
Adjust model and retrieval settings in the UI
Tune models, embeddings, retrieval depth, and response roles without leaving the product.

Screens from the running app
Real screens from the desktop app, not dressed-up mockups.
These captures come from the current LocalRAG build, so the page stays tied to the real interface.
Read the answer. Open the source passage.
What matters is not the phrasing. It is the ability to jump straight to the supporting passage.
Changing models should feel normal
Language model and embedding choices are part of the workflow, not a side ritual.
Corporate / Integrations
When a local document assistant has to become a governed private system.
The corporate layer keeps the same local-first logic and adds the parts a real rollout needs: connectors, permissions, APIs, event flows, monitoring, and quality checks.
File shares / Object storage / Knowledge bases / SQL-backed content
Internal APIs / Webhooks / Queues and events / Monitoring and quality checks
The workflow stays familiar. The surrounding layer changes: connectors, automation, permissions, monitoring, and quality checks.
Pricing
Start with the free build. Add the corporate layer when you need more control.
Free is enough for personal work, pilots, and evaluation. Corporate is for teams that need connectors, governance, and an operating layer around the same core product.
Free / Community
Run it locally, test it on real folders, and keep document work under your control.
Best if you want local AI for private documents on your own machine and want to understand the product before adding more infrastructure.
- Local AI for documents on your own machine
- Answer language configured in the product
- Configurable models, embeddings, and response roles
- Free for personal use, evaluation, and pilots
Corporate
For teams that need connectors, rollout discipline, and operational control.
The same LocalRAG core, expanded with connectors, governance, and the pieces needed for internal platforms.
- Connectors for file shares, knowledge bases, object storage, and internal content sources
- Extensible API, webhooks, and adapters for integration with corporate systems
