Msty Blog

Looks like a big pivot on target audience from developers to regular users, at least on the homepage https://ollama.com/ as a product. Before, it was all about the CLI versions of Ollama for devs, now it's not even mentioned. At the bottom of the blog post it says: > For pure CLI versions of Ollama, standalone downloads are available on Ollama’s GitHub releases page. Nothing against that, just an observation. Previously I tested several local LLM apps, and the 2 best ones to me were LM Studio [1] and Msty [2]. Will check this one out for sure. One missing feature that the ChatGPT desktop app has and I think is a good idea for these local LLM apps is a shortcut to open a new chat anytime (Alt + Space), with a reduced UI. It is great for quick questions. [1] https://lmstudio.ai/ [2] https://msty.app/

this is the best app i’ve found so far, better than anything else. Unfortunately it’s not open source and is only free for personal use. It has web search and RAG that actually works properly out of the box. No fiddling with 100 settings. https://msty.app/

This is a great release! If you are looking to try it locally with a great interface, I am working on an app [1] and I just pushed an update to support Gemma2. 1: https://msty.app

https://msty.app (cross-platform) and https://chorus.sh (Mac only) do that though they are both a desktop app rather than a service. Arguably better than putting your API key somewhere online in my opinion.

I believe there's a couple of similar apps like https://msty.app and https://jan.ai that do the same and allow you to plug in your own API keys.

Desktop-wise there's https://msty.app which is rather good but not open source. I'm using OpenWeb UI [1] with a desktop shortcut but that's a web app. 1 - https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui

Hi, I'm a noob in this plane, but I'm learning slowly. Could you please tell me how this is different from running something like [Msty](https://msty.app/)? That also supports running local models that you already installed using ollama and things like, adding pdf and preserving chat history. So what am I looking at here with ooba? Thanks!

https://msty.app/ (Note: it has first class support for Obsidian.md vaults.)

Msty [0] is a really good app - you can use both local or online models and has web search, attachments, RAG, split chats, etc., built-in. [0] https://msty.app

Is anyone using Msty to ingest your Obsidian vaults so you can chat with your notes? This looks like it could be a powerful method for AI-assisted long form writing, technical or otherwise. https://msty.app/

There is also Msty (https://msty.app), which I find much easier to get started with and it comes with interesting features such as web search, RAG, Delve mode, etc.

Here is another: https://msty.app/

I looked at the site and it doesn't appear to be open source. https://msty.app/pricing
