Hi everyone,

Recently, we added chat with PDF feature, local RAG and Llama 3 support in [RecurseChat](https://recurse.chat/), a local AI chat app on macOS.

I wrote about why we build it and the technical details here: [Local Docs, Local AI: Chat with PDF locally using Llama 3](https://medium.com/@recursechat/local-docs-local-ai-chat-with-pdf-locally-using-llama-3-a3b9a3a0c055).

You can chat with PDF locally and offline with built-in models such as Meta Llama 3 and Mistral, your own GGUF models or online providers like Together AI and Groq.

Looking forward to your feedback!
