What's included

📄

Chat with your documents

Drop in PDFs, spreadsheets, or notes and ask questions grounded in that content (RAG).

🤖

Built-in local LLM

Ships with Ollama under the hood — a model downloads and runs with no separate setup.

🔀

Any LLM you want

Swap in GPT, Claude, or Mistral via API key if you'd rather use a cloud model for some chats.

🔒

No account needed

Not a SaaS product — models, documents, and chat history stay on your machine by default.

How to install it

  1. Click the download button above

    It opens anythingllm.com's real desktop download page — pick the Windows x86-64 or ARM64 build.

  2. Allow the browser/SmartScreen prompt

    Click "Keep" if your browser flags it, then "More info" → "Run anyway" if Windows SmartScreen appears — normal for less common installers, not a sign of a problem.

  3. Install for "Current User" only

    Don't choose "install for all users" — the developers note this causes issues and isn't supported.

  4. Launch and pick a model

    First boot takes a minute or two while it sets up the local model — later launches are near-instant.

Good to know: This is an independent overview, not affiliated with Mintplex Labs. The button above links to AnythingLLM's own site — this page never hosts or serves the installer itself. If you need multi-user, team-wide access, the developers point people to the Docker version instead of Desktop.
