Transform scattered documents, images, and audio into a unified, intelligent, and private knowledge base you can chat with.
Features • Tech Stack • Roadmap • License
In today's information-rich environment, critical knowledge is fragmented across different formats:
- 📄 Important reports buried in PDFs
- 📊 Key data locked in screenshots
- 🎙️ Context hidden in audio recordings
- 📝 Notes scattered across text files
Traditional search is limited to keyword matching, making it time-consuming and inefficient to extract meaningful insights. Worse yet, most AI solutions require cloud connectivity and force you to upload sensitive data to third-party servers.
Glimpse brings the power of modern RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) directly to your desktop. It runs completely on your machine, ensuring your data remains private while enabling intelligent semantic search and conversational AI across all your documents.
