GPTLocalhost
A local Word Add-in for you to use local LLM servers in Microsoft Word. Alternative to "Copilot in Word" and completely local.
What is GPTLocalhost?
GPTLocalhost is a Microsoft Word Add-in that enables users to integrate local Large Language Model (LLM) servers directly into Word, providing a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based solutions like Copilot in Word. Unlike cloud-dependent AI assistants, GPTLocalhost runs entirely on your local infrastructure, giving you complete control over your data and model selection. The tool supports smooth model switching, allowing users to choose from various open-source and proprietary models based on their needs. It's particularly suited for organizations with strict data privacy requirements, enterprises processing sensitive documents, and users who prefer running AI locally without sending information to external servers. With demonstrated support for specialise models like IBM Granite 4 for contract analysis, GPTLocalhost connects powerful AI capabilities and on-premises deployment.
