INSTANT. TINY. LIGHTWEIGHT.
A JavaScript-based chatbot system built for speed, minimal footprint, and smart responses — no server, no bloat, just semi-smartness! 🧠✨


  • Instant: Loads and replies in milliseconds — even on a potato 🥔
  • 📦 Tiny: Uses a single JSON file as the model (kilobytes only!)
  • 🧠 Lightweight: Minimal RAM usage — runs smoothly on anything, even low-spec devices
  • 🪄 Dynamic: Smart placeholder functions like {{name}}, {{timeOfDay}}, and {{randomEmoji}}
  • 🧰 Offline-first: 100% client-side. No APIs. No Internet. Works everywhere.

  • Download models from the releases page to test Semi Intelligence!
  • The R in the models stands for Responses, which means how many topics it can respond to!
  • The more responses the smarter the SI model is.
