grafychat

grafychat is a web-based chat client that lets you talk to multiple AI models through a single, visual interface. Instead of a standard linear chat, it provides an 'endless canvas' where you can create, move, and connect different chat bubbles. This lets you map out ideas, follow different conversation threads, and manage complex projects in a more flexible way. You can use models from OpenAI (like GPT-4), Google AI (Gemini), and run free, open-source models locally via Ollama, all by supplying your own API keys.

What sets grafychat apart is its strong focus on privacy and user control. All your conversations and data are stored locally on your device by default. The tool includes a powerful search function to find anything across your chats, a library to save and reuse prompts, and each chat functions as a full markdown editor you can edit later. You can also adjust model parameters, switch models mid-conversation, and customize the interface's look and feel.

This tool is ideal for anyone who uses AI chatbots regularly but wants more organization and privacy. Students and researchers can use the canvas to visually connect ideas from different sources. Writers and content creators can draft and edit across multiple AI assistants without leaving the app. Developers and privacy-conscious users benefit from the ability to run models locally with Ollama, keeping all data offline. It's a practical choice for those tired of scattered chat tabs and concerned about where their data goes.
