smolchat

Overview

smolchat is a full-stack open-source agentic AI platform (like ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude), built with LangChain and Next.js, featuring:

• Chat support for multiple LLM providers, including OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and locally via Ollama,
• Native speech-to-text and text-to-speech models,
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with multi-format document support backed by Pinecone VectorDB,
• Chat session persistence on the client side via IndexedDB, ensuring conversations are retained locally across sessions.

smolchat agent integrates with external tools to enable dynamic, tool-augmented agentic reasoning. These include:

• YouTube Search, which fetches transcripts from videos and allows question-answering about the content,
• General Web Search, enabling real-time access to current information,
• Web Pages Search, allowing smolchat to extract and understand content from any webpage for contextual Q&A,
• Wolfram Alpha Knowledge Engine, for precise, factual answers across domains like math, time, weather, and scientific queries,
• Long-Term Memory, which remembers important information about you, such as preferences, facts, or prior answers, to enable personalized suggestions and maintain long-term cross-chat memory context.
