Golem

What is Golem?

Golem is an open-source platform that offers an alternative to the standard ChatGPT interface, with a focus on security and privacy. Conversations can be stored locally on your own computer, or deployed to your personal cloud via Deta Space for more control. You can also share chats with others by sending a link, which makes collaboration simple. Because the code is open-source, you can customize the experience to suit your needs.
