Dot is a standalone, open-source application designed for seamless interaction with documents and files using local LLMs and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). It is inspired by solutions like Nvidia's Chat with RTX, providing a user-friendly interface for those without a programming background. Using the Phi-3.5 LLM by default, Dot ensures accessibility and simplicity right out of the box.
