Welcome to LibreChat

What is LibreChat?

LibreChat is an AI chat interface that gives you access to powerful language models through a clean, feature-rich environment. Hosted by GLBNXT within your sovereign workspace, LibreChat lets you have natural conversations with AI, work with documents, use intelligent agents, and search the web, all without your data leaving the GLBNXT environment.

Whether you need help drafting content, analysing documents, answering complex questions, or automating repetitive thinking tasks, LibreChat is designed to support a wide range of everyday professional work.

What to Expect on First Login

When you first open LibreChat, you will land on a clean home screen with a central message input and a sidebar on the left. There are no complicated setup steps, you can start a conversation immediately.

A few things you will notice straight away:

The sidebar runs along the left side of the screen. This is where all your past conversations are stored. It also gives you access to agents and presets, which you will explore in later chapters.

The model selector appears near the message input area. GLBNXT makes a curated set of AI models available to you, you can switch between them depending on the task at hand.

The message input is the large text box at the bottom of the screen. This is where you type your questions, instructions, or requests. You can also attach files directly from here.

A Brief Tour of the Interface

LibreChat's interface is intentionally straightforward. The key areas you will use regularly are:

• Sidebar (left) - your conversation history, agents, and navigation

• Main chat area (centre) - where your conversations happen

• Model and settings bar (top) - switch models, access conversation options, and toggle features like web search

• Message input (bottom) - type messages, attach files, and send your requests

You do not need to explore every menu before getting started. Most of what you need is visible by default.

Your Conversations Are Private

Because LibreChat runs within the GLBNXT platform, your conversations remain inside your organisation's environment. Nothing is shared with external AI providers or public services. This is especially relevant if you are working with sensitive business content or internal documents.
