mdchat 1.1.0

a CLI that lets you chat with your markdown notes

MDChat

A CLI tool that allows you to chat with your markdown notes. MDChat uses a large language model (LLM) and a method called "Retrieval Augmented Generation" to allow you to have intelligent conversations with an expert on your content.

The primary goal of this project is to be both easy to get started with and educational to what modern AI systems can achieve. There are lots of tools like this out there but, in my opinion, they get a bit too into the weeds on the tech or require too much setup.

Getting started

To get started with MDChat you just need to install it, configure it, and get to chattin!

pip install mdchat

Then you can point mdchat at your notes through th interactive config and select a model (GPT-4 is more accurate, GPT-3.5-turbo is much cheaper and faster)

mdchat config

After that's done, all you need to do is start a chat with your notes! You can start a new chat thread with the following command:

mdchat chat

Or if you want to chat with a specific note

mdchat chat --file "/path/to/your/file.md"

Key Features

• Allows you to "chat" with any folder of markdown files or a single markdown file.
• Answers will include "sources" to the notes used in generating them when possible.
• summarizing the most recent notes on a certain topic (given your notes are dated)
• summarizing what you've been working on in the last day, or week (given your notes are dated)
• Making novel connections on topics you previously hadn't thought were related
