Overview
PrivateGPT is an open-source API layer that transforms local models into production-grade AI applications. It supports various features such as standard message APIs, file and artifact ingestion, retrieval citations, built-in tools (e.g., web search, code execution), custom tools and MCP connectors, structured access to databases and CSVs, as well as embeddings and orchestration. By connecting to any OpenAI-compatible inference server, PrivateGPT enables developers to build private AI products without rebuilding backend components from scratch. Ideal for enterprises and individuals who need to run AI applications locally.
