How it works

The app supports local documents for retrieval-augmented generation, so you can ask questions about your own files privately. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and it is free under the MIT licence with no paid tier at all.

One caution: there has been no new release since February 2025, so development appears quiet. Even so, GPT4All remains a solid free option for private, offline AI chat.
