What it does

All text below is quoted directly from the project README.

Vane is a privacy-focused AI answering engine that runs entirely on your own hardware. It combines knowledge from the vast internet with support for local LLMs (Ollama) and cloud providers (OpenAI, Claude, Groq), delivering accurate answers with cited sources while keeping your searches completely private.

Features:

• Support for all major AI providers – Use local LLMs through Ollama or connect to OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, and more. Mix and match models based on your needs.
• Smart search modes – Choose Speed Mode when you need quick answers, Balanced Mode for everyday searches, or Quality Mode for deep research.
• Pick your sources – Search the web, discussions, or academic papers. More sources and integrations are in progress.
• Widgets – Helpful UI cards that show up when relevant, like weather, calculations, stock prices, and other quick lookups.
• Web search powered by SearxNG – Access multiple search engines while keeping your identity private.
• File uploads – Upload documents and ask questions about them. PDFs, text files, images – Vane understands them all.
• Search specific domains – Limit your search to specific websites when you know where to look.
• Search history – Every search is saved locally so you can revisit your discoveries anytime. Your research is never lost.
