@miau Ahh do you mean text search through ALL chats? so you can find a specific conversation?

We have file sharing for characters, so you can give it access - but yeah I still need to add a little "media" button for the chat so it's easier to share on-the-go

Regeneration is a good one! And very easy to implement :)

@miau Hey there - yes that's a good shout! Been focusing so much on desktop experience, stability and polish

I'll give the mobile UX a bit more love (it needs some after recent refactors!), and then I'll try to get it listed on fdroid

Can I ask you weren't completely satisfied with existing tools? just looking for what I can do better so this doesn't just feel like "yet another AI app"

@SsxChaos Of course - that's a good question! Every project has a beginning, and this is the beginning of this one

Been working on it since November last year after I made a PR for OpenWebUI, as I realised that there wasn't really a lightweight, cross-platform, open "client" for AI (and if there was I hadn't been able to find it, since I really wanted one!)
So I started working on Compass for fun and kept going.

Now it's pretty stable and polished and I'm ready to start letting people know about it - while I keep working on it and adding features

Feel free to try out the demo at compass-ai.chat where you can also read a bit more

@bagelberger Thanks for showing me this - think I might actually try using goose myself

However Compass is not really targeted for engineers, and is not specifically for building applications. Rather, it's a more general AI chat app that strives to be mobile-friendly, private, light, self-hostable and powerful (like self-running agents that can respond to your environment)

The fact that we can run this on a phone, means that it can respond to GPS-coordinates or other signals and - say - suggest events that are nearby that could interest you (of course EVERYTHING being under your control)

It would be up to each user to arrange with their AI what kind of behaviour they want from it

@warmaster Hmm.. haven't actually tried that myself - but I imagine a long-context model could handle it. Feel free to give it a go :D

Here's a link to latest docker release: https://github.com/compass-ai-chat/compass/releases

@warmaster
You can install via docker: https://github.com/compass-ai-chat/compass/releases

Models can be added pretty easily - either add a provider like OpenAI or Anthropic and they show up, or run a local one like Ollama where you can download and run any open source model you wish

Absolutely plan on going big on integrations - but it's not my focus right now. Want to get Windows build working, then add more tools and implement Event Hooks (where you can schedule your AI to run when certain events happen, such as the clock turning 8pm or getting an email from someone)

@hayk Already there - models can be pulled inside the "Providers" section if you have Ollama added

But I'd like to make it more apparent and easier (perhaps accessible straight from the front page)

@skryking It's essentially pre-prompting but more conceptualized as a "character". Just like we have different people we interact with, I think it's important to have a diversity of thought and perspective within AI

So that's what characters aims to encourage. A character can then be assigned Documents, Tools, a Model etc.
