What is GPTLocalhost?

GPTLocalhost is an add-in for Microsoft Word that connects the document you are writing to a language model running on your own machine. It works with any LLM server that follows the OpenAI Chat API, and the pricing page lists tested servers such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, LocalAI, KoboldCpp, Xinference, OpenLLM, AnythingLLM and LiteLLM. Because processing is local, document text is not sent to a cloud service, and after login the add-in can work offline, including in air-gapped setups. You can also reach cloud models such as OpenAI or Anthropic by going through a proxy like LiteLLM. The add-in loads through Word's developer add-in mechanism, with an installer that sets up a local HTTPS certificate. Writers, legal and healthcare staff and anyone with privacy rules use it as a private alternative to Copilot in Word. A free plan covers basic features, and Monthly and Lifetime plans add advanced features, though the pricing page shows no amounts.

  • Any OpenAI-compatible model server can be used, so you choose the models and can change them.
