Decision brief

Khoj is a self-hosted AI assistant that supports integration with multiple LLMs, enabling users to build custom agents and conduct deep research using both web and local documents.

Good fit when

When you need a self-hosted solution for personalized research and automation that can integrate with a variety of LLMs, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA, Qwen, and Mistral.
If you require a tool that allows you to build custom agents and schedule automations, Khoj can be a suitable choice.

Avoid when

If you are looking for a cloud-based service without the need for self-hosting, Khoj may not be the best fit.
Khoj might not be ideal if you are seeking a tool that does not support a wide range of LLMs and requires a more specialized integration.

Pricing:: freemium - Khoj is free to use, but users may incur costs related to hosting and the LLMs they choose to integrate.
Requirements:: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Khoj requires Docker for setup and operation.; Users must have a Python environment and the necessary dependencies installed.
