What is VT?
Introducing VT Chat, a privacy-first AI chat application that keeps all your conversations local while providing advanced research capabilities and access to 15+ AI models including Claude 4 Sonnet and Claude 4 Opus, O3, Gemini 2.5 Pro and DeepSeek R1.
The core difference is true local-first architecture. All chats are stored in IndexedDB with zero server storage. You can switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and other providers to compare responses, with complete data isolation for shared machines.
Research features: Deep Research does multi-step research with source verification, Pro Search integrates real-time web search with grounding web search powered by Google Gemini. There's also document processing for PDFs, a "thinking mode" to see complete AI reasoning, and structured extraction to turn documents into JSON. AI-powered semantic routing automatically activates tools based on your queries.
Built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, and Turborepo in a monorepo setup. The hosted version keeps most features free, with optional VT+ for premium models and advanced research capabilities.
