About
GPTLocalhost is a Microsoft Word add-in that connects Word to any locally-running LLM server — such as Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp — enabling AI writing assistance directly inside Microsoft Word without sending document content to cloud services. This edge computing approach delivers AI capabilities where many professional documents are actually written while maintaining complete data privacy.
The add-in provides a chat panel within Word that can read document context, answer questions about the document's content, generate text to insert at the cursor, rewrite selected passages, and help with research — all powered by locally running models. For users who spend significant time in Word and want AI assistance but cannot use cloud AI for compliance or privacy reasons, GPTLocalhost fills this gap.
GPTLocalhost is particularly relevant for legal, financial, healthcare, and government users who work extensively in Word but operate under strict data handling policies that preclude cloud AI services. By routing AI requests to local inference servers, it delivers the productivity benefits of AI writing assistance without the compliance risk.

About the Publisher
