Not A Wrapper

Not A Wrapper is an open-source, Next.js-based AI chat application that provides a unified interface for multiple models, including OpenAI, Mistral, Claude, and Gemini. It supports BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) via OpenRouter, offers file uploads, and features a responsive UI with light/dark themes.

Forked from Zola and updated with state-of-the-art technologies like Convex and Flowglad.

Features

• 🤖 Multi-model support - OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Perplexity, xAI, and 100+ models
• 🔄 Multi-model comparison - Send the same prompt to multiple models and compare responses side-by-side
• 🔑 Bring your own API key (BYOK) - Use your own keys via OpenRouter or direct provider APIs
• 📎 File uploads - Share documents, images, and code for AI analysis
• 🎨 Clean, responsive UI - Light/dark themes with modern design
• 🏠 Self-hostable - Full control over your data
• ⚙️ Customizable - User system prompts, multiple layout options
• 🖥️ Local AI with Ollama - Run models locally with automatic detection
• 💳 Usage-based billing ready - Flowglad integration for AI usage metering
• 🔌 MCP support (work in progress)

Quick Start

Option 1: With OpenAI (Cloud)

git clone https://github.com/your-username/not-a-wrapper.git
cd not-a-wrapper
bun install
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key" > .env.local
bun dev

Option 2: With Ollama (Local)

# Install and start Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
ollama pull llama3.2  # or any model you prefer

# Clone and run
git clone https://github.com/your-username/not-a-wrapper.git
cd not-a-wrapper
bun install
bun dev

Not A Wrapper will automatically detect your local Ollama models!

Setup AI Tool Skills (Optional)

If you're developing with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex), run the skill sync script:

./.agents/skills/sync-agent-skills/scripts/sync-skills.sh

This creates symlinks so all AI tools can access the shared skills in .agents/skills/.

Option 3: Docker with Ollama

git clone https://github.com/your-username/not-a-wrapper.git
cd not-a-wrapper
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ollama.yml up

To unlock features like auth, file uploads, see INSTALL.md.
