What it does

Chat with your files

Point it at a folder of .txt, .pdf, .doc/.docx, or .xml files — it indexes them in seconds.

▶️

YouTube transcript search

Drop in a video or playlist URL and ask questions about its content, processed locally.

🖼️

Image search

Uses OpenAI's CLIP model to search your own photos by describing what's in them.

🎙️

Voice input

Query by speaking, powered by a local Whisper model — no cloud round-trip.

How to install it

  1. Click the download button above

    It goes straight to NVIDIA's own ChatRTX page — check the requirements listed there match your GPU before downloading the large file.

  2. Extract the downloaded package

    It's a large compressed file (~35 GB) — extracting it needs roughly that much free space again.

  3. Run setup.exe

    Keep the default install path unless you have a specific reason to change it — some users report issues after moving it.

  4. Let it finish setting up on first launch

    A command prompt window runs in the background configuring things; leave it be until your browser opens the chat interface automatically.

Good to know: This is an independent overview, not an NVIDIA page. ChatRTX is officially described as a "tech demo," not a polished consumer product — expect some rough edges. It only works with GeForce RTX 30-series or newer; older or non-RTX NVIDIA cards, and AMD/Intel GPUs, are not supported.
