### Overview
Khoj can now read website directly without needing to go through the search step first
### Details
- Parallelize simple webpage read and extractor
- Rename extract_content online results field to web pages
- Tweak prompts to extract information from webpages, online results
- Test select webpage as data source and extract web urls chat actors
- Render webpage read in chat response references on Web, Desktop apps
- Pass multiple webpages with their urls in online results context
- Support webpage command in chat API
- Add webpage chat command for read web pages requested by user
- Create chat actor for directly reading webpages based on user message
- Ask for Confirmation before deleting chat session in Desktop, Web app
- Save chat session rename on hitting enter in title edit input box
- No need to flash previous conversation cleared status message
- Move chat session delete button after rename button in Desktop app
Previously only the notes references would get rendered post response
streaming when when both online and notes references were used to
respond to the user's message
- Trigger
SentenceTransformer Cross Encoder models now run fast on GPU enabled machines, including Mac ARM devices since UKPLab/sentence-transformers#2463
- Details
- Use cross-encoder to rerank search results by default on GPU machines and when using an inference server
- Only call search API when pause in typing search query on web, desktop apps
Wait for 300ms since stop typing before calling search API.
This smooths out UI jitter when rendering search results, especially
now that we're reranking for every search query on GPU enabled devices
Emacs already has 300ms debounce time. More convoluted to add
debounce time to Obsidian search modal, so not updating that yet
- Fix
`get_conversation_by_user' shouldn't return new conversation if
conversation with requested id not found.
It should only return new conversation if no specific conversation
is requested and no conversations found for user at all
- Repro
- Delete a new chat, this calls loadChat via window.onload which
calls server /chat/history API endpoint with conversationId set to
that of just deleted conversation sporadically
The call to GET chat/history API with conversationId set occurs
when window.onload triggers before the conversationId is deleted
by the delete button after the DELETE /chat/history API call (via race)
- In such a scenario, get_conversation_by_user called by
chat/history API with conversationId of deleted conversation
returns a new conversation
- Miscellaneous
- Chat history load should be logged as call to that chat_history api,
not the "chat" api
- Show status updates of clearing conversation history in chat input
- Simplify web, desktop client code by removing unnecessary new variables
* Upload generated images to s3, if AWS credentials and bucket is available.
- In clients, render the images via the URL if it's returned with a text-to-image2 intent type
* Make the loading screen more intuitve, less jerky and update the programmatic copy button
* Update the loading icon when waiting for a chat response
* Make major improvements to the image generation flow
- Include user context from online references and personal notes for generating images
- Dynamically select the modality that the LLM should respond with
- Retun the inferred context in the query response for the dekstop, web chat views to read
* Add unit tests for retrieving response modes via LLM
* Move output mode unit tests to the actor suite, rather than director
* Only show the references button if there is at least one available
* Rename aget_relevant_modes to aget_relevant_output_modes
* Use a shared method for generating reference sections, simplify some of the prompting logic
* Make out of space errors in the desktop client more obvious
- Open external links using the default link handler registered on OS
for the link type, e.g http:// -> firefox, mailto: thunderbird etc
- Confirm before opening non-http URL using an external app
- Improve
- Only send files modified since their last sync for indexing on server from the Obsidian client
- Fix
- Invalidate static asset browser cache in Web client when Khoj version changes
Previously we'd send all files in vault and let the server
deduplicate.
This changes takes inspiration from the desktop app, and only pushes
files which were modified after their previous sync with the server.
This should reduce the processing load on the server
* Retrieve, create, and save conversations differently if they're coming from a client application
- Not all of our client apps will necessarily maintain state over the conversation IDs available to a user. For some (single-threaded conversations), it should just use a single conversation. Fix the code to do so
* Simplify conversation retrieval logic
* Keep 0 padding below chat response
* Add order_by sorting to retrieving the conversation without id
- Resolve PWA issues thrown by Chrome/Edge
- Add screenshot samples showcasing remember, browse and draw features
- This can provide a richer app store like experience when
installing Khoj PWA on Mobile or Desktop
- Add wide and narrow screenshots to show Mobile vs Desktop UX
- Add higher resolution favicon for PWA
- Use single web manifest instead of separate ones for Chat, Search
- Update manifest description with more details about Khoj features
Reset starter question suggestions before appending in web, desktop app
Otherwise previously it'd keep adding to existing starter question
suggestions on each new session creation if multiple consecutive new
chat sessions created.
This would result in more than the 3 expected starter questions being
displayed at a time
- Make collapse, expand toggle arrow point in the direction the action
will expand the side panel in
- Make the collapsed side panel reduce to a 1px sliver
- Respect newline with pre-line but not for bullets to improve
formatting of responses by Khoj
- Respect bold font by loading tajawal font with other weights
- Reduce bottom margin in chat message bubble, its taking too much space
* Display given_name field only if it is not None
* Add default slugs in the migration script
* Ensure that updated_at is saved appropriately, make sure most recent chat is returned for default history
* Remove the bin button from the chat interface, given deletion is handled in the drop-down menus
* Refresh the side panel when a new chat is created
* Improveme tool retrieval prompt, don't let /online fail, and improve parsing of extract questions
* Fix ending chat response by offline chat on hitting a stop phrase
Previously the whole phrase wouldn't be in the same response chunk, so
chat response wouldn't stop on hitting a stop phrase
Now use a queue to keep track of last 3 chunks, and to stop responding
when hit a stop phrase
* Make chat on Obsidian backward compatible post chat session API updates
- Make chat on Obsidian get chat history from
`responseJson.response.chat' when available (i.e when using new api)
- Else fallback to loading chat history from
responseJson.response (i.e when using old api)
* Fix detecting success of indexing update in khoj.el
When khoj.el attempts to index on a Khoj server served behind an https
endpoint, the success reponse status contains plist with certs. This
doesn't mean the update failed.
Look for :errors key in status instead to determine if indexing API
call failed. This fixes detecting indexing API call success on the
Khoj Emacs client, even for Khoj servers running behind SSL/HTTPS
* Fix the mechanism for populating notes references in the conversation primer for both offline and online chat
* Return conversation.default when empty list for dynamic prompt selection, send all cmds in telemetry
* Fix making chat on Obsidian backward compatible post chat session API updates
New API always has conversation_id set, not `chat' which can be unset
when chat session is empty.
So use conversation_id to decide whether to get chat logs from
`responseJson.response.chat' or `responseJson.response' instead

* Use single debug mode check function. Disable telemetry in debug mode
- Use single logic to check if khoj is running in debug mode.
Previously there were 3 different variants of the check

log telemetry even if KHOJ_DEBUG set to false
* Respect line breaks in user, khoj chat messages to improve formatting
* Disable Whatsapp config section on web client if Twilio not configured
Simplify Whatsapp configuration status checking js by standardizing
external input to lower case
* Disable Phone API when Twilio not setup and rate limit calls to it
- Move phone api to separate router and only enable it if Twilio enabled
- Add rate-limiting to OTP and verification calls
* Add slugs for phone rate limiting

messages is not intuitive, outside standard modern UI patterns
- Color chat message send button to make it primary CTA on web client
- Make chat footer shorter. Use no or round border on action buttons

- Issue
Users with Dataview plugin would have error as its markdown
post-processor expects the sourcePath to be a string
This prevents Khoj from responding to chat messages in the Obsidian
chat modal. Search via Obsidian still works but it throws the same
dataview plugin error
- Fix
Pass a string as sourcePath to markdownRenderer to fix failing chat response
and stop throwing dataview errors on search
Resolves#614, Resolves#606
Server connection check can be a little flaky in Obsidian. Don't gate
the commands behind it to improve usability of Khoj.
Previously the commands would get disabled when server connection
check failed, even though server was actually accessible
- Update server connection status on every edit of khoj url, api key in
settings instead of only on plugin load
The error message was stale if connection fixed after changes in
Khoj plugin settings to URL or API key, like on plugin install
- Show better welcome message on first plugin install.
Include API key setup instruction
- Show logged in user email on Khoj settings page

### Major
- Short-circuit API rate limiter for unauthenticated user
Calls by unauthenticated users were failing at API rate limiter as it
failed to access user info object. This is a bug.
API rate limiter should short-circuit for unauthenicated users so a
proper Forbidden response can be returned by API
Add regression test to verify that unauthenticated users get 403
response when calling the /chat API endpoint
### Minor
- Remove trailing slash to normalize khoj url in obsidian plugin settings
- Move used /api/config API controllers into separate module
- Delete unused /api/beta API endpoint
- Fix error message rendering in khoj.el, khoj obsidian chat
- Handle deprecation warnings for subscribe renew date, langchain, pydantic & logger.warn
- Use /api/health for server up check instead of api/config/default
- Remove unused `khoj--post-new-config' method
- Remove the now unused /config/data GET, POST API endpoints
* Support using hosted Huggingface inference endpoint for embeddings generation
* Since the huggingface inference endpoint is model-specific, make the URL an optional property of the search model config
* Handle ECONNREFUSED error in desktop app
* Drive API key via the search model config model and use more generic names
FastAPI API endpoints only support uploading 1000 files at a time.
So split all files to index into groups of 1000 for upload to
index/update API endpoint

Previously you could only index org-mode files and directories from
khoj.el
Mark the `khoj-org-directories', `khoj-org-files' variables for
deprecation, since `khoj-index-directories', `khoj-index-files'
replace them as more appropriate names for the more general case
Resolves#597
- Improve the prompt before sending it for image generation
- Update the help message to include online, image functionality
- Improve styling for the voice, trash buttons
The source URL returned by OpenAI would expire soon. This would make
the chat sessions contain non-accessible images/messages if using
OpenaI image URL
Get base64 encoded image from OpenAI and store directly in
conversation logs. This resolves the image link expiring issue
- Use new style references for Khoj chat modal in Obsidian
- Khoj Chat responses in Obsidian had regressed to not show references
for new questions after modal has been opened. Now even those are
rendered, and use new references style
- Render chat response as markdown while it's being streamed
- Add transcription button with mic icon
- Collect audio recording on pressing mic
- Process and send audio recording to server for transcription
- Extract the functionality to flash status in chat input for reuse
- Extract flashing status message in chat input placeholder into
reusable function
- Use emoji prefixes for status messages
- Improve alt text of transcribe button to indicate what the button does
- Conflicts:
- src/interface/desktop/chat.html
Combine and use common class names for speak component
- src/khoj/database/adapters/__init__.py
Combine imports
- src/khoj/interface/web/chat.html
Combine and use common class names for speak component
- src/khoj/routers/api.py
Combine imports
- Ignore errors in deleting network requests to khoj server
- Also delete open network connection to khoj server on auto reindex
Otherwise when server is unreachable a bunch of failed network
connections accrue in the processes list
- Make auto-update of content index user configurable from khoj.el
- Handle server unavailable error on auto-index schedule job in khoj.el
Resolves#567
Previously it was only searching for PDF and Markdown files. This was
meant to show only content from current vault as results.
But it has not scaled well as other clients also allow syncing PDF and
markdown files now. So remove this content type filter for now.
A proper solution would limit by using file/dir filters on server or
client side.
- Adds support for multiple users to be connected to the same Khoj instance using their Google login credentials
- Moves storage solution from in-memory json data to a Postgres db. This stores all relevant information, including accounts, embeddings, chat history, server side chat configuration
- Adds the concept of a Khoj server admin for configuring instance-wide settings regarding search model, and chat configuration
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to the UX, including chat references, colors, and an updated config page
- Adds billing to allow users to subscribe to the cloud service easily
- Adds a separate GitHub action for building the dockerized production (tag `prod`) and dev (tag `dev`) images, separate from the image used for local building. The production image uses `gunicorn` with multiple workers to run the server.
- Updates all clients (Obsidian, Emacs, Desktop) to follow the client/server architecture. The server no longer reads from the file system at all; it only accepts data via the indexer API. In line with that, removes the functionality to configure org, markdown, plaintext, or other file-specific settings in the server. Only leaves GitHub and Notion for server-side configuration.
- Changes license to GNU AGPLv3
