- Updated references panel
- Use subtle coloring for chat cards
- Chat streaming with train of thought
- Side panel with limited sessions, expandable
- Manage conversation file filters easily from the side panel
- Updated nav menu, easily go to agents/automations/profile
- Upload data from the chat UI (on click attachment icon)
- Slash command pop-up menu, scrollable and selectable
- Dark mode-enabled
- Mostly mobile friendly
- Pass Loading message, class name via props to both inline and normal
loading spinners
- Pass loading conversation message to loading spinner when chat
history is being fetched
- Create profile card componennt. Use it for agent profile card
- Pass agent persona from khoj server via API
- Put link to agent profile page in the hover card to make it 2 clicks
away. Othewise inadvertent clicks on agent in chat view lead away to
agent page
- Use tailwind line-clamp extension to clamp card to first two lines
- Reuse class name when get slash command icons
- Previous chat input styling didn't have the cursor centered in the
chat input text area. But it did allow seeing multi line chat inputs
for context
- Major
- Ask for prompt in prose
- Remove seed from SD3 image generation to improve diversity of output
for a given prompt
Otherwise for conversations with similar sounding
prompts, the images would be almost exactly the same. This maybe
another indicator of SD3's inability to capture detailed
instructions
- Consistently use "prompt" wording instead of "query" in improved
image generation prompts.
Previously a mix of those terms were being used, which could confuse
the chat model
- Minor
- Add day of week to prompt
- Remove 2-5 sentence limit on instructions to SD3. It seems to be
able to follow longer instructions just with less fidelity than
DALLE. And the 2-5 sentence instruction limit wasn't being adhered to
- Improve ability to edit, improve the image based on follow-up
instructions by the user
- Align prompts for DALLE and SD3. Only difference is to wrap text to
be rendered in quotes for SD3. This improves it's ability to render
requested text. DALLE cannot render text as well or consistently
- Because we're using a FastAPI api framework with a Django ORM, we're running into some interesting conditions around connection pooling and clean-up. We're ending up with a large pile-up of open, stale connections to the DB recurringly when the server has been running for a while. To mitigate this problem, given starlette and django run in different python threads, add a middleware that will go and call the connection clean up method in each of the threads.
- Transcribe on holding Ctrl+s keyboard shortcut
- Transcribe on holding the transcribe button pressed via mouse too
- Make the transcribe button robust to inadvertent touches by using timeout
- Do not transcribe, trigger auto-send on silences. Silence detection
is super rudimentary, just blocks standard emanations by whisper
when no speech
### Fix
- Fix degrade in speed when indexing large files
- Resolve org-mode indexing bug by splitting current section only once by heading
- Improve summarization by fixing formatting of text in indexed files
### Improve
- Improve scaling user, admin flows to delete all entries for a user
- Split once by heading (=first_non_empty) to extract current section body
Otherwise child headings with same prefix as current heading will
cause the section split to go into infinite loop
- Also add check to prevent getting into recursive loop while trying
to split entry into sub sections
Adding files to the DB for summarization was slow, buggy in two ways:
- We were updating same text of modified files in DB = no of chunks
per file times
- The `" ".join(file_content)' code was breaking each character in the
file content by a space. This formats the original file content
incorrectly before storing in the DB
Because this code ran in the main file indexing path, it was slowing down
file indexing. Knowledge bases with larger files were impacted more strongly
- Delete entries by batch to improve efficiency of query at scale
- Share code to delete all user entries between it's async, sync methods
- Add indicator to show when files being deleted on web config page
The Khoj CSP interferes with other Obsidian features and plugins as
CSP is applied page wide.
For now chat message sanitization via Dompurify should suffice.
Enable CSP when can scope it to only the Khoj Obsidian plugin.
Maybe better to fallback to non-summarize behavior if summarize intent
is just inferred but we can't actually summarize because the single
file added to conversation isn't satisfied
- Simplify quick jump between Khoj side pane and main editor view using keyboard shortcuts
- Enable voice chat in Obsidian to make interactions with Khoj more seamless
- Overview
Khoj wil be able to do online search out of the box, even for self-hosted users
- Default to Jina search, reader API when no Serper.dev, Olostep API keys
- Run online searches in parallel to process multiple queries faster
- Details
- Jina provides a [reader API](https://github.com/jina-ai/reader) for online search and web page reading
It requires no API key. This provides a good default to enable
online search for self-hosted readers requiring no additional setup.
- Jina search API also returns webpage contents with the results, so
just use those directly when Jina Search API used instead of
trying to read webpages separately. The extract relevant content from
webpage step using a chat model is still used from the
`read_webpage_and_extract_content' func in this case.
- Parse search results from Jina search API into same format as
Serper.dev for accurate rendering of online references by clients
- Run online searches in parallel with AsyncIO to process multiple queries faster
- Support Stable Diffusion 3 via API
Server Admin needs to setup model similar to DALLE-3 via Django Admin Panel
- Use shorter prompt generator to prompt SD3 to create better images
- Allow users to set paint model to use from web client config page
Jina AI provides a search and webpage reader API that doesn't require
an API key. This provides a good default to enable online search for
self-hosted readers requiring no additional setup.

This should improve fluidity of keyboard interactions with Khoj on
Obsidian.
Open Khoj chat view via keybinding or command pallete and ask
question using only the keyboard, with no mouse clicks required
- Automatically carry out voice chats with Khoj from within Obsidian
When send voice message, Khoj will auto respond with voice as well
- Listen to past Khoj messages as speech
- Add circular loading spinner to use while message is being converted
to speech
* Add a leader election mechanism to circumvent runtime issues for multiple schedulers
- Reduce the load on the DB and risk of issues on the service side by limiting the execution environment to one elected leader at a given time. This one is responsible for managing all of the execution of the jobs, though all workers are capable of adding and removing jobs
* Set a max duration for the schedule leader position (12 hrs), add some error if automation not added successfully
* rough sketch of desktop shortcuts. many bugs to fix still
* working MVP of desktop shortcut khoj
* UI fixes
* UI improvements for editable shortcut message
* major rendering fix to prevent clipboard text from getting lost
* UI improvements and bug fixes
* UI upgrades: custom top bar, edit sent message and color matching
* removed debug javascript file
* font reverted to Noto Sans
* cleaning up the code and removing diffs
* UX fixes
* cleaning up unused methods from html
* front end for button to send user back to main window to continue conversation
* UX fix for window and continue conversation support added

- Add an experimental feature used for fact-checking falsifiable statements with customizable models. See attached screenshot for example. Once you input a statement that needs to be fact-checked, Khoj goes on a research spree to verify or refute it.
- Integrate frontend libraries for [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) and [ShadCN](https://ui.shadcn.com/) for easier UI development. Update corresponding styling for some existing UI components.
- Add component for model selection
- Add backend support for sharing arbitrary packets of data that will be consumed by specific front-end views in shareable scenarios
Initialize our migration to use Next.js for front-end views via Agents. This includes setup for getting authenticated users, reading in available agents, setting up a pop-up modal when you're clicking on an agent, and allowing users to start new conversations with agents.
Best attempt at an in-place migration, though there are some noticeable differences.
Also adds view for chat that are not being used, but in experimental phase.
Previously the text_to_image helper would only trigger the image
generation flow if OpenAI client was setup. This is not required
anymore as offline chat model + sd3 API works. So remove that check
Khoj will find and display notes similar to the current entry in the side pane when
1. find similar is open in side pane and
2. cursor has moved to a new entry
### Major
- Find similar notes to current note at cursor automatically in background
- Only show headings of search result and increase default results count
### Minor
- Pass absolute path of file to index from khoj.el emacs client
- Update help message to only show the smaller set of new keybindings
- Fix edge cases in loading some chat sessions
To improve the developer experience for front-end development, we're migrating to Next.js. In order to do this migration page-by-page, we're using static site generation via Next.js. This also helps us avoid making cross site requests from front-end to back-end for the time being, while giving a ramp to separating out server and client if needed for scale down the road.
Dev instructions for using the next.js setup are in the added README.
This adds scaffolding for including the built files in the python package as well as the docker images. Docker setup has been tested locally. In order to verify the build is working as expected, we can navigate to the {khoj_host}:42110/experimental and verify that the experiment page comes up.
This setup works with serving static files included in the src/interface/web folder from the Django app. The key bit for understanding the setup is in the yarn export command in package.json.
* Enable speech to text responses in khoj chat
- Current issue: reads out all the markdown formatting, plus waits for the whole result to be streamed before playing it
* Extract content from markdown-formatted text
* Add a loader for while you're waiting for Khoj's response
* Add user configuration option for chat model options, allow server side configuration for option list
* Join up APIs, views, admin pages to allow configuring custom voice models
When create new conversation session, automatically request query. As
that is expected next action after creating new session
Pass session-id to khoj-chat to allow reuse from
create-new-conversation func
When delete conversation session, do not call load chat session.
Unnecessary action.
Use thread-last to improve code flow in new, delete conversation funcs
* Add magic link email sign-in option
* Adding backend routes and model changes to keep state of email verification code and status
* Test and fix end to end email verification flow
* Add documentation for how to use the magic link sign-in when self-hosting Khoj
* Add magic link sign in to public conversation page
Previously the cursor would move to the Khoj side pane on opening it.
This would break user's flow, especially when find similar triggers
automatically
New behavior maintains smoother update of auto find similar without
disrupting user browsing
Previously it would show complete result body this would make the
result width variable and hard to track all the returned results
Showing just heading makes it easier to track
- Call find similar on current element if point has moved to new
element
- Delete the first result from find-similar search results as that'll
be the current note (which is trivially most similar to itself)
- Determine find-similar based text formating at the rendering layer
rather than at the top level find-similar func
* Uses entire file text and summarizer model to generate document summary.
* Uses the contents of the user's query to create a tailored summary.
* Integrates with File Filters #788 for a better UX.
To add multiple allowed Khoj domains pass them as a comma separated
list of domains via the KHOJ_DOMAIN environment variable
Resolve comment in issue #662
Given img src enforcement via CSP required loosening. Soft enforce it
via a regex replace of img HTML elements if the src isn't from the
whitelisted set of source prefixes.
Currently allowed source prefixes are
- app: for local images
- data: for inline generated images
- https://generated.khoj.dev: for cloud generated images
- Create and use a function to convert markdown to sanitized html
- Remove unused Latex delimiter handling as Katex isn't used in
Khoj chat on Obsidian
- Open Khoj in Emacs Side pane
Open Khoj chat, search in right pane to allow for ambient engagement
- Improve Khoj Chat
- Show online references used for chat
- Make chat API call async to not block user interactions
- Fix loading chat history, references in khoj.el chat buffer
- Improve Khoj Search, Find Similar functions
- Make calls to Khoj search API async to not block user interactions
- Support Conversation Sessions
- Create transient menu to open, create, delete conversation sessions from the Khoj Emacs client
- C-x o to switch to search org content conflicts with switch buffer shortkey
This is more apparent in the async search scenario as it prevents
perform other actions while async search is in progress
- Also switching content type wouldn't scale to all the content types
Khoj will support without causing more conflicting keybinding
Khoj side pane occupies a vertically split bottom right side pane.
If the bottom right window is not a vertical split, create a new
vertical split pane for khoj, otherwise reuse the existing window
- Fix getting file filters for not found conversations
- Allow iamge rendering in automation emails
- Fix nearest 15th minute calculation in automations creation
* added support for uploading multiple files at a time.
* optimized multiple file upload to use a batch upload
* allowing files to upload even if there is one unsupported file
See the currently active window in context while doing chat, search
or find similar operations in a side pane.
This is similar to how we've moved Khoj on Obsidian into the side pane
as well
# Major
- Disambiguate Text output mode to disambiguate from Default data source lookup
- Fix showing headings in intermediate step in generating chat response
- Remove "Path" prefix from org ancestor heading in compiled entry
# Minor
- Fix OpenAI chat actor, director unit tests
* Add language-specific syntax highlighting via highlight.js
- Add highlight.js to our assets CDN for fast load and compliance with the CSP
- See other stylesheets options here: https://cdnjs.com/libraries/highlight.js
* Bonus: set min-height to prevent increasing length of the sessions pane
* Fix references rendering and add highlight.js in public conversation
* Fix multilingual font rendering; fallback to an Arabic language font which contains more Asian characters. Close#756
* Tune font-sizes and styling to accomodate new fonts with old sizing
- Move connection-status styling out from inline html into css block
- Remove start typing chat-input height jitter
- align new-conversation button, text
- use relative font sizes instead of absolute font sizes in most places

Previously if default output was selected by Khoj, we'd end up doing
an documents search as well, even when Khoj selected internet or
general data source to lookup.
This update disambiguates the default information mode from the text
output mode. To avoid doing documents search when not deemed necessary
by Khoj
Prevent XSS attacks by enforcing Content-Security-Policy (CSP) in apps.
Do not allow loading images, other assets from untrusted domains.
- Only allow loading assets from trusted domains
like 'self', khoj.dev, ipapi for geolocation, google (fonts, img)
- images from khoj domain, google (for profile pic)
- assets from khoj domain
- Do not allow iframe src
- Allow unsafe-inline script and styles for now as markdown-it escapes html
in user, khoj chat
- Add hostURL to CSP of the Desktop, Obsidian apps
Given web client is served by khoj server, it doesn't need to
explicitly allow for khoj.dev domain. So if user self-hosting, it'll
automatically allow the domain in the CSP (via 'self')
Whereas the Obsidian, Desktop clients allow configure the server URL.
Note *switching server URL breaks CSP until app is reloaded*
* The command menu (triggered by "/") now has a clickable list of possible commands, that automatically fill into the chat when pressed.
* The `/help` command now searches `khoj.dev` pages to provide useful assistance to the user.

### Details
- **Chat with Khoj from right pane on Obsidian**
- Modal was too ephemeral, couldn't have it open for reference, quick jump to Khoj chat
- **Stream intermediate steps taken by Khoj** for generating response to the chat pane
Gives more transparency into Khoj 'thinking' process, e.g internet, notes searches performed, documents read etc.
The feedback allows us to tune our messages to elicit better responses by Khoj
- Add ability to **copy message to clipboard, paste chat messages directly into current file**
- Jump to **Search**, **Find Similar** functions from navigation bar on the Khoj Obsidian side pane
- Improve spacing, use consistent colors in chat message references and buttons
Resolves#789, #754
* Updating the API / UI to support sharing of automations
* Allow people to see the automations even when not logged in, and add an overlay effect
* Handle unauthenticated users taking actions
* Support showing pre-filled automation details on the config automations page
* Redirect user to login if they try to add an automation while unauthenticated
- Dedupe the code to add action buttons to chat messages
- Update the renderIncrementalMessage function to also add the action
buttons to newly generated chat messages by Khoj
* Disable automation recurrence at minute level frequency
* Set a max lifetime for django's connections to the db
* Disable any automation that has a non-numeric first digit (i.e., recuring on the minute level)
* Re-enable automations

Previously clicking inline links would open the URL directly in the
Desktop app. This was strange and it didn't provide any way to go back
to Khoj desktop app UI from the opened link
- Don't propagate max_tokens to the openai chat completion method. the max for the newer models is fixed at 4096 max output. The token limit is just used for input
* Add support for chatting with Anthropic's suite of models
- Had to use a custom class because there was enough nuance with how the anthropic SDK works that it would be better to simply separate out the logic. The extract questions flow needed modification of the system prompt in order to work as intended with the haiku model
- Pass file path of reference along with the compiled reference in
list of references returned by chat API converts
- Update the structure of references from list of strings to list of
dictionary (containing 'compiled' and 'file' keys)
- Pull out the compiled reference from the new references data struct
wherever it was is being used
Simplify, reuse, standardize code to render messages with references
in the obsidian, web and desktop clients. Specifically:
- Reuse function to create reference section, dedupe code
- Create reusable function to generate image markdown
- Simplify logic to render message with references
- Setup websocket using Khoj web app as reference.
- Moved the geolocating code to chat view out from the general pane
view
- Use loading spinner from web instead of the thinking emoji
It'll replace any highlighted text with the chat message or if not
text is highlighted, it'll insert the chat message at the last cursor
position in the active file
- Jump to chat, show similar actions from nav menu of Khoj side pane
- Add chat, search icons from web, desktop app
- Use lucide icon for find similar (for now)
- Match proportions of find similar icon to khoj other icons via css, js
- Use KhojPaneView abstract class to allow reuse of common functionality like
- Creating the nav bar header in side pane views
- Loading geo-location data for chat context
This should make creating new views easier
* Update suggested automations
* add a schedule picker when creating an automation
* Create a new conversation in flow of the automation scheduling in order to send a preview and deliver more consistent results
* Start adding in scaffolding to manually trigger a test job for an automation
* Add support for manually triggering automations for testing
* Schedule automation asynchronously
* Update styling of the preview button
* Improve admin lookup experience and prevent jobs from being scheduled to run every minute of everyday
* Ignore mypy issues on job info short description
### Description and Rationale for Changes
This feature includes thumbs up and thumbs down buttons on Khoj's chat responses that provide automated feedback. When a thumbs up/down button is clicked, the code sends an email to team@khoj.dev with the following:
* user query
* khoj's response
* whether the sentiment of the user was good or bad.
This is critical in improving Khoj's nondeterministic LLM model for a better user experience.
### List of Changes
* new endpoint in `api_chat.py` (/feedback) that can be used to trigger mail sending).
* thumbs up and thumbs down buttons implemented in `chat.html`
* new function in `routers/email.py` to handle feedback email sending via resend
* `feedback.html` template for a formatted email with the feedback.

* Improve the automations UX
- Add suggested jobs to elimiinate some of the cold start problem
- Make each of the tasks cards that are clickable/editable
* Hide suggested automations that have already been added
* Add a footer and reapply styling when a save action is taken on a card
- Allows having it open on the side as you traverse your Obsidian notes
- Allow faster time to response, having responses visible for context
- Enables ambient interactions
* Make conversations optionally shareable
- Shared conversations are viewable by anyone, without a login wall
- Can share a conversation from the three dot menu
- Add a new model for Public Conversation
- The rationale for a separate model is that public and private conversations have different assumptions. Separating them reduces some of the code specificity on our server-side code and allows us for easier interpretation and stricter security. Separating the data model makes it harder to accidentally view something that was meant to be private
- Add a new, read-only view for public conversations
- Add parsing logic for LaTeX-format math equations in the web chat
- Add placeholder delimiters when converting the markdown to HTML in order to avoid removing the escaped characters
- Add the `<!DOCTYPE html>` specification to the page
- Pass user and calling_url to the scheduled chat too when modifying
params of automation
- Update to use user timezone even when update job via API
- Move timezone string to timezone object calculation into the
schedule automation method
- Previously it was a section in the settings page. Move it to
independent, top-level page to improve visibility of feature
- Calculate crontime from natural language on web client before
sending it to to server for saving new/updated schedule to disk.
- Avoids round-trip of call to chat model
- Convert POST /api/automation API endpoint into a direct request for
automation with query_to_run, subject and schedule provided via the
automation page. This allows more granular control to create automation
- Make the POST automations endpoint more robust; runs validation
checks, normalizes parameters
- Make the config page content use the same top level 3-column layout
as the khoj-header-wrapper
This ensures the content is aligned with heading pane width
- Let cards and other settings sections scale to the width of their
grid element. This utilizes more of the screen space and does it
consistently across the different settings pages
- Create new POST API endpoint to create automations
- Use it in the settings page on the web interface to create
new automations
This simplified managing automations from the setting page by allowing
both delete and create from the same page
- Render crontime string in natural language in message & settings UI
- Show more fields in tasks web config UI
- Add link to the tasks settings page in task scheduled chat response
- Improve task variables names
Rename executing_query to query_to_run. scheduling_query to
scheduling_request
- Make timezone aware scheduling programmatic, instead of asking the
chat model to do the conversion. This removes the need for
scratchpad and may let smaller models handle the task as well
- Make chat model infer subject for email. This should make the
notification email more readable
- Improve email by using subject in email subject, task heading. Move
query to email final paragraph, which is where task metadata should
go
- Using inferred_query directly was brittle (like previous job id)
- And process lock id had a limited size, so wouldn't work for larger
inferred query strings
- Pass timezone string from ipapi to khoj via clients
- Pass this data from web, desktop and obsidian clients to server
- Use user tz to render next run time of scheduled task in user tz
This takes the load of the task scheduling chat actor / prompt from
having to artifically differentiate query to create scheduled task
from a scheduled task run.
- The task scheduling actor was having trouble calculating the
timezone. Giving the actor a scratchpad to improve correctness by
thinking step by step
- Add more examples to reduce chances of the inferred query looping to
create another reminder instead of running the query and sharing
results with user
- Improve task scheduling chat actor test with more tests and
by ensuring unexpected words not present in response
There's a difference between running a scheduled task and notifying
the user about the results of running the scheduled task.
Decide to notify the user only when the results of running the
scheduled task satisfy the user's requirements.
Use sync version of send_message_to_model_wrapper for scheduled tasks
- Store scheduled job state in Postgres so job schedules persist
across app restarts
- Use Process Locks to only allow single worker to process a given job
type. This prevents duplicating job runs across all workers
- Detect when user intends to schedule a task, aka reminder
Add new output mode: reminder. Add example of selecting the reminder
output mode
- Extract schedule time (as cron timestring) and inferred query to run
from user message
- Use APScheduler to call chat with inferred query at scheduled time
- Handle reminder scheduling from both websocket and http chat requests
- Support constructing scheduled task using chat history as context
Pass chat history to scheduled query generator for improved context
for scheduled task generation
Previously the make delete API response failed, after deleting token.
Required a page refresh to see that the API token was actually gone.
This was happening because the response type of the delete token API
endpoint isn't a string, so it failed FastAPI response validation
checks.
