Khoj gives you lightning fast, offline search on your personal machine and gives you the power to talk to your notes.

- **Faster answers**: Find answers faster, smoother than search. No need to manually scan through your notes to find answers.
- **Iterative discovery**: Iteratively explore and (re-)discover your notes
- **Assisted creativity**: Smoothly weave across answers retrieval and content generation
- **General**
- **Natural**: Advanced natural language understanding using Transformer based ML Models
- **Pluggable**: Modular architecture makes it easy to plug in new data sources, frontends and ML models
- **Multiple Sources**: Index your Org-mode and Markdown notes, PDF files, Github repositories, and Photos
- **Multiple Interfaces**: Interact from your [Web Browser](https://docs.khoj.dev/#/web), [Emacs](https://docs.khoj.dev/#/emacs) or [Obsidian](https://docs.khoj.dev/#/obsidian)
