Product Overview

AnythingLLM is the all-in-one AI application that lets you build a private, fully-featured ChatGPT—without compromises. Connect your favorite local or cloud LLM, ingest your documents, and start chatting in minutes. Out of the box you get built-in agents, multi-user support, vector databases, and document pipelines — no extra configuration required.

AnythingLLM supports multiple users as well where you can control the access and experience per user without compromising the security or privacy of the instance or your intellectual property.

Technical Overview

This monorepo consists of six main sections:

• frontend: A viteJS + React frontend that you can run to easily create and manage all your content the LLM can use.
• server: A NodeJS express server to handle all the interactions and do all the vectorDB management and LLM interactions.
• collector: NodeJS express server that processes and parses documents from the UI.
• docker: Docker instructions and build process + information for building from source.
• embed: Submodule for generation & creation of the web embed widget.
• browser-extension: Submodule for the chrome browser extension.

🛳 Self-Hosting

Mintplex Labs & the community maintain a number of deployment methods, scripts, and templates that you can use to run AnythingLLM locally. Refer to the table below to read how to deploy on your preferred environment or to automatically deploy.

or set up a production AnythingLLM instance without Docker →

How to setup for development

• yarn setup To fill in the required .env files you'll need in each of the application sections (from root of repo).
  • Go fill those out before proceeding. Ensure server/.env.development is filled or else things won't work right.
• yarn dev:server To boot the server locally (from root of repo).
• yarn dev:frontend To boot the frontend locally (from root of repo).
• yarn dev:collector To then run the document collector (from root of repo).

Learn about documents

Telemetry & Privacy

AnythingLLM by Mintplex Labs Inc contains a telemetry feature that collects anonymous usage information.

Why?

We use this information to help us understand how AnythingLLM is used, to help us prioritize work on new features and bug fixes, and to help us improve AnythingLLM's performance and stability.

Opting out

Set DISABLE_TELEMETRY in your server or docker .env settings to "true" to opt out of telemetry. You can also do this in-app by going to the sidebar > Privacy and disabling telemetry.

What do you explicitly track?

We will only track usage details that help us make product and roadmap decisions, specifically:

• Type of your installation (Docker or Desktop)

• When a document is added or removed. No information about the document. Just that the event occurred. This gives us an idea of use.

• Type of vector database in use. This helps us prioritize changes when updates arrive for that provider.

• Type of LLM provider & model tag in use. This helps us prioritize changes when updates arrive for that provider or model, or combination thereof. eg: reasoning vs regular, multi-modal models, etc.

• When a chat is sent. This is the most regular "event" and gives us an idea of the daily-activity of this project across all installations. Again, only the event is sent - we have no information on the nature or content of the chat itself.

You can verify these claims by finding all locations Telemetry.sendTelemetry is called. Additionally these events are written to the output log so you can also see the specific data which was sent - if enabled. No IP or other identifying information is collected. The Telemetry provider is PostHog - an open-source telemetry collection service.

We take privacy very seriously, and we hope you understand that we want to learn how our tool is used, without using annoying popup surveys, so we can build something worth using. The anonymous data is never shared with third parties, ever.

[View all telemetry events in source code](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMintplex-Labs%2Fanything-llm%20.sendTelemetry(&type=code)

Other outbound connections

If you disable telemetry, you would still see outbound connections to the following services:

• If using an external tool, LLM, Embedding models, or Vector databases, you will still see outbound connections to the respective service provider.
• cdn.anythingllm.com for pulling models from our mirror CDN. This is not tracked by telemetry and is actually useful for those in VPN restricted regions.
• github/githubusercontent.com There are some various flat files that are downloaded from these domains for context window caching.

Basically, if telemetry is disabled we don't collect anything. However, depending on your setup you may still see outbound connections and would be subject to the terms of service of the respective service provider.
