Newelle is a desktop AI assistant for Linux, providing a native GTK front-end to cloud and local LLMs. It features voice chat, long-term memory and extensions.

Newelle is a GTK graphical front end for interacting with LLMs from Gnome desktop. It supports both local LLMs and online ones.

In addition to basic chat, it supports:

  • Speech to text and TTS models
  • Can perform web searches
  • Can drag files into Newelle to discuss it’s contents
  • Run terminal commands
  • Manage files
  • Other features like image generation can be added through it’s plugin system.

Obviously you’ll want to be careful with letting it interact with your system directly through files/terminal commands, but still sounds pretty promising.

    Great. We need open alternatives/integration before the Corp monkeys saturates services/tools and the whole AI ecosystem. I don’t want to rely on corps and their services, and I don’t want to loose the AI capabilities. AI can help me de-google/de-westernize my life - max FLOSS and open living as possible.
