Cool project. I tried it last time this got posted, but it was still a bit buggy. Giving it another shot - I'm mainly interested in the local chat.

Could you elaborate on the incremental search feature? How did you implement it? Don't you need to re-encode the full query through a SBERT or such as each token is written (perhaps with debouncing)?

Also, having an easily-extended data connector interface would be awesome, to connect to custom data sources.

Buggy for setup? We've done some improvements and have desktop apps (in beta) too now to simplify this. Feel free to report any issues on the khoj github. I can have a look.

Yes, we don't do optimizations on the query encoding yet. So SBERT just re-encodes the whole query every time. It gets results in <100ms which is good enough for incremental search.

I did create a plugin system, so that a data plugin just has to convert the source data into a standardized intermeditate jsonl format. But this hasn't been documented or extensively tested yet.
