Local chat
A fast, familiar conversation surface in your browser — powered entirely by the runtime on your machine.
Not a hard-coded chatbot
Behavior assembled from configuration, not baked in
The WebUI is just the visible control surface. Beneath it, the Matbot runtime loads whatever your active workspace says it should — and nothing more.
Provider selection
Switch between OpenAI-compatible providers per workspace, per conversation. Local models welcome.
Durable memory
Say “remember my name” once. Remembered facts, skills, and Mem0-backed memory persist per workspace.
Controlled file access
Local services expose safe file indexing and safe file access — governed, auditable, never a free-for-all.
Markdown RAG
Workspace markdown and indexed files come back through retrieval layers, including contextual search.
Expert panel
A tool-based panel of domain experts that answer independently and synthesize a cited decision.
Workspace isolation
Every project gets its own world
Each workspace carries its own providers, plugins, memories, skills, files, and RAG indexes — persisted independently. Your legal review workspace never sees your product research, and compliance can audit each one on its own terms.
- Per-workspace matbot.yaml defines exactly what loads
- New workspaces copy the Default shape, then diverge freely
- Durable memory and indexes stay local, per workspace

Expert panel
Ask once. Hear from the whole panel.
The expert-panel tool runs selected domain experts independently — legal, security, finance, compliance, operations, and more — then synthesizes their opinions into one decision, with citations. Run them in parallel, pick who’s on the panel per question.
