   Bad work

   Chatbase Evaluation: Definitely, after many hours of uploading documents that I have been refining, it continues to respond with absurd or incorrect answers, and sometimes even claims to have no information when it had answered correctly just 10 minutes before. A significant waste of time and money.

• Best AI Client for Mac (2026): Elvean vs Jan vs Msty vs LM Studio

  Jan is the most polished open-source AI client available. Built with Tauri, it's lighter than Electron apps and has a genuinely clean, minimal design — the kind where you notice the absence of clutter rather than the presence of features. It runs local models through llama.cpp and MLX, has native MCP support, an extension system, and an OpenAI-compatible API server at localhost:1337 so you can point other tools at... - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago

• Local LLM Hosting: Complete 2025 Guide - Ollama, vLLM, LocalAI, Jan, LM Studio & More

  Jan takes a different approach, prioritizing user privacy and simplicity over advanced features with a 100% offline design that includes no telemetry and no cloud dependencies. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Jan – Ollama alternative with local UI

  I really like Jan, especially the organization's principles: https://jan.ai/ Main deal breaker for me when I tried it was I couldn't talk to multiple models at once, even if they were remote models on OpenRouter. If I ask a question in one chat, then switch to another chat and ask a question, it will block until the first one is done. Also Tauri apps feel pretty clunky on Linux for me. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Show HN: I built an LLM chat app because we shouldn't need 10 AI subscriptions

  I believe there's a couple of similar apps like https://msty.app and https://jan.ai that do the same and allow you to plug in your own API keys. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Build and Share Your Own Private AI Assistant Using Jan and Pinggy

  Head over to jan.ai and grab the installer for your OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux). It’s a single binary—no setup scripts, containers, or dependencies to wrestle with. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Put ChatGPT on any website in 5 seconds. No signup required

  Congrats on the launch. How is it different from - https://chatbase.co/ https://sitegpt.ai/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• ChatGPT trending down hard in a lot of places (although not in India)

  More and more people won’t use the base product directly, but downstream products such as https://chatbase.co, Microsoft Copilot integrated in all office applications, upcoming robots such as OpenAI Neo, etc. Source: about 3 years ago

• Paid AI to train on company docs?

  Chatbase.co is a good one. You can upload any text related file or pdf. Pretty user friendly and there's a lifetime deal on appsumo right now. Source: about 3 years ago

• Upload multiple pdfs and ask questions about these pdfs

  I know there are several services out there such as chatbase.co (https://www.chatbase.co/) What service do you use? Source: about 3 years ago

• What GPT/AI apps do you actually use? I'll share my favorites

  Chatbase.co is a web app where you can embed pdf-s and then ask anything about it. It's an awesome tool to create questions for my college lecture notes and find answers in lengthy documents to easy questions (e.g.: How many times can I take an exam for free?). There is a free version which is enough most of the time for these kinds of use cases. Source: about 3 years ago
