LanJAM is a free, open-source, self-hosted AI chat application designed for families. The application runs entirely on your own hardware and network. This website provides information, documentation, and downloads related to the LanJAM project.

  • Managing user accounts and access within your installation
  • Backing up your data
  • Securing your local network and the machine running LanJAM
  • Keeping the software updated

4. AI-Generated Content

LanJAM uses open-source AI models to generate responses. These models may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate content. Specifically:

  • AI responses should not be treated as factual or authoritative
  • The safety features reduce but cannot completely eliminate the possibility of inappropriate content
  • Users should verify important information generated by the AI against trusted sources
  • Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising children's use of the application

5. No Warranty

LanJAM is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet your specific requirements. Use of LanJAM is at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the LanJAM project and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the software or this website.

7. Open Source Licence

The LanJAM application is released under an open-source licence. The specific licence terms are included in the project repository and govern your rights to use, modify, and distribute the software code.

8. Third-Party Software

LanJAM relies on third-party open-source software including Ollama, PostgreSQL, MinIO, and others. Each of these has its own licence terms and conditions that you should review.

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the website or software after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
