About
ChatALL (Chat with ALL) is a free, open-source desktop tool that revolutionizes how you interact with AI language models by allowing simultaneous conversations with dozens of AI bots in a single interface. Instead of switching between tabs or apps, you type your prompt once and ChatALL fans it out to services like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Bard, Bing Chat, Alpaca, Vicuna, ChatGLM, MOSS, 讯飞星火 (iFlytek Spark), 文心一言 (ERNIE Bot), and more. The side-by-side response layout makes it effortless to compare quality, accuracy, tone, and depth across models, empowering you to choose the best answer for your needs. This is especially valuable for research, fact-checking, creative writing, and complex problem-solving where different models may excel. Built with Vue.js and distributed as a cross-platform desktop application (Windows, macOS, Linux), ChatALL is community-driven with over 16,000 GitHub stars and active multilingual documentation. It requires users to have their own accounts or API keys for the respective services. The Apache-2.0 license means it is completely free to use, modify, and contribute to, making it ideal for power users, developers, and researchers who want to get the most out of the current AI landscape.
