  • Developers who want to self-host or customize an AI chat application.

Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository documents hosted access at xprivo.com and a self-hosted option. For the hosted version, it describes a free tier with a daily request quota and occasional non-personalized ads, plus a PRO upgrade with unlimited daily requests and no ads. Its hosted access description says no account creation is required and describes a unique license key identifier.

  • External model connections require the provider’s endpoint, API key and model name.
  • Some providers may require a separately configured proxy because of CORS restrictions.
  • Self-hosting requires Node.js 18 or later and npm.
  • The README says complex PDFs can be problematic.
  • The repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
