## Introduction
Welcome to the Khoj Docs! This is the best place to get setup and explore Khoj's features.
- Khoj is an open source, personal AI
- You can [chat](chat.md) with it about anything. When relevant, it'll use any notes or documents you shared with it to respond
- Quickly [find](search.md) relevant notes and documents using natural language
- It understands pdf, plaintext, markdown, org-mode files, [notion pages](notion_integration.md) and [github repositories](github_integration.md)
- Access it from your [Emacs](emacs.md), [Obsidian](obsidian.md), [Web browser](web.md) or the [Khoj Desktop app](desktop.md)
- You can self-host Khoj on your consumer hardware or share it with your family, friends or team from your private cloud
