In simple English
This tool lets you chat with many different artificial intelligence models in one clean window. You can run it on your own server or deploy it to the web with one click. It saves your chat history right inside your browser so your data stays private. You can connect your own API keys from various providers to pay only for what you use. The app works on phones, tablets and desktop computers.
What it is
NextChat is a cross-platform chat client built with TypeScript that connects to multiple artificial intelligence providers. It supports model switching, prompt templates, markdown rendering and plugins.

- Deploys to hosting services with a single click.
- Stores chat history locally in your web browser for privacy.
