Chat with your notes using a local LLM

https://www.reorproject.org/

Found this in my feed: it creates a basic ChatGPT-like interface to ask questions about your notes.

The appeal is to do everything locally, given you have a decently powerful machine -- instead of using wasteful and data-stealing online services.

Haven't yet tested this, so beat me to it and report your experience :)

  • Thanks for following up here, @ctietze. I don't visit the forum as regularly!

    I tried Reor with a local-first approach, and it seems okay. It feels though like the responses weigh more towards the training data than the notes I set it to augment.

    For example, I asked it for tips on boss fights in Chrono Trigger, and it did not use my note at all in its response and just gave generic answers that could apply to any JRPG.

    Reor claims to have "semantic search”, to enable searching without exact phrasing. But I find it doesn't rank results well either.

    Though now that I poke around the UI some more, in the chat prompt there is a "tool" panel where you can check to have Reor use "search" on your folder. I had zero tools enabled during my testing!
