Terminal entry into Khoj's local AI assistant. Use grep, get answers, never leave the shell.
Editorial verdict: “Best terminal companion for note-summarization workflows. Pipe-friendly.”
Which runtime + OS combos this app works against. Source of truth for "will it run on my setup?"
For solo Ollama users who live in the terminal, Khoj CLI turns your shell into a local document assistant. Pipe any text—grep output, log files, notes—into `khoj 'summarize this'` and get answers without leaving the command line. It bridges to Ollama, llama.cpp, or any OpenAI-compatible runtime, and works offline with models as small as Llama 3.1 8B Q4_K_M on 4 GB VRAM. The trade-off: you need the Khoj server running in the background, which adds a dependency not everyone wants. Best for note-summarization workflows where speed and pipe compatibility matter more than a GUI.
