README
ChatLab is an open-source desktop app for understanding your social conversations. It combines a flexible SQL engine with AI agents so you can explore patterns, ask better questions, and extract insights from chat data, all on your own machine.
Currently supported: WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, QQ, Discord, Instagram, and Telegram. Coming next: iMessage, Messenger, and KakaoTalk.
Core Features
- 🚀 Built for large histories: Stream parsing and multi-worker processing keep imports and analysis responsive, even at million-message scale.
- 🔒 Private by default: Your chat data and settings stay local. No mandatory cloud upload of raw conversations.
- 🤖 AI that can actually operate on data: Agent + Function Calling workflows can search, summarize, and analyze chat records with context.
- 📊 Insight-rich visual views: See trends, time patterns, interaction frequency, rankings, and more in one place.
- 🧩 Cross-platform normalization: Different export formats are mapped into a unified model so you can analyze them consistently.
