# Neo Chat

A local-first, self-hostable AI chat workspace that brings multi-model chat, an agent mode for multi-step tool workflows, and deep research with reviewable plans into one app, keeping conversation history in the browser by default.

Neo Chat is a local-first AI chat workspace that connects to a user's own model providers, including Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, with image input and generation where supported. Beyond everyday conversation, it offers an agent mode for multi-step tool workflows and a deep research mode with reviewable plans, cited reports and manual resume.

It works as a workspace for a user's own knowledge, with file attachments, knowledge-base retrieval, local search, memory and reusable assistant presets, and can be extended with text skills, OpenAPI plugins, remote MCP servers, and an optional Docker bridge for local MCP tools. It also supports voice, editable artifacts, Markdown, math, diagrams and interactive charts with export controls. Data is stored in the browser by default, with ZIP backup and restore and optional end-to-end encrypted sync through WebDAV or S3/MinIO.

It runs with Node.js and pnpm, or as a Docker container, and supports English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
