01 / THREAD
Bring relevant details forward
The app keeps the latest turns and ranks older exchanges by word overlap with the new question. It is a lightweight retrieval heuristic, not a trained attention model.
A conversation, carried forward
AI that keeps
the thread.
A chat should feel like one conversation, not a series of fresh starts. Baatwise is an early-stage project exploring how context can make the next reply more relevant.

The idea behind Baatwise
Good replies start with paying attention.
People add details as they go: a constraint, a preference, a correction. We’re exploring how a conversational assistant can bring those signals into the next answer.
02 / PREFERENCE
Choose how the reply sounds
Set tone, answer detail, and English, Hindi, or Telugu. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is the default; Claude Haiku 4.5 is available as a lower-cost option.
03 / SOURCE
Discuss a text PDF
Attach a PDF up to 10 MB and 50 pages. The app extracts at most 18,000 characters of text; scanned PDFs need OCR first.
An open experiment
Try the code. See what carries through.
The repository now contains a runnable Streamlit chat powered by Anthropic’s Claude API. It combines recent messages with a small number of earlier turns selected for lexical relevance, so a follow-up can use useful details without replaying the entire transcript.
01 — CHOOSE YOUR MODEL
Sonnet or Haiku
Use Claude Sonnet 5.5 for balanced replies or choose Haiku 4.5 as the lower-cost option. You supply your own Anthropic API key.
02 — KEEP CONTEXT USEFUL
Recent plus relevant
Recent exchanges stay available while older turns are selected by word overlap with the current question. There are no accounts or saved profiles.
03 — SEARCH WHEN NEEDED
Optional web and PDF tools
Web search is off by default. PDF text can be added for a session. Search, model tokens, and your API plan may incur charges.
EARLY PROTOTYPE · SESSION-ONLY CHAT · NOT A PRODUCTION SERVICE
Prompts and extracted PDF text are sent to Anthropic. Baatwise does not save them to its own database. Web search may add separate charges. No customer, reliability, or performance claims have been validated.
A name with a meaning
“Baat” means conversation.
Baatwise brings an everyday Indian word into a simple idea: a useful AI chat should keep track of what the conversation is about. The visual identity follows the same thought—one continuous line, with room for the next turn.
Curious about context-aware chat?
Read the setup guide, run the app with your own Anthropic API key, and follow the open-source experiment.
