Khoj pros and cons
Chat with and search across your own notes, documents, and PDFs in natural language
Runs with local models for privacy or cloud models for more capability
Integrates into Obsidian and Emacs, plus web, desktop, and mobile clients
Surfaces the source documents behind its answers, not just a bare reply
Self-hosting involves a Docker stack and some configuration to get running well
Local-model quality and speed depend on your hardware; cloud models cost money
Indexing large or messy document collections can take tuning to get good results
Buzz pros and cons
Runs fully offline on your own machine, keeping audio private
Permissive MIT license
Handles files, YouTube links, and live microphone transcription
Exports to TXT, SRT, and VTT, with speaker identification and a watch-folder option
Accuracy and speed depend on the Whisper model size and your hardware; larger models need a capable GPU
Whisper's translation feature outputs English, so it is not a general any-to-any translator
Installers are unsigned, so Windows and macOS show security warnings on first run
