PureChat

Why we included this project

PureChat is a chat app that mixes ordinary instant messaging with AI conversation, which makes it a useful reference for anyone building communication software with model support baked in. It connects to OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama, and other providers, with streaming replies, web search, and custom prompt presets, and it renders Markdown, highlights code, and can export a chat history as a screenshot. The front end is Vue 3 and Vite, there's an Electron desktop build for macOS and Windows, and sessions can run locally without a backend using IndexedDB for storage. If you want to see how a modern chat UI, Tencent IM, and swappable model providers fit together in one working project, this is a complete example to study. One thing to know: this repo is the older Vue/Electron version, and active development has moved to PureChatNext.
