Newelle is a GTK graphical front end for interacting with LLMs from Gnome desktop. It supports both local LLMs and online ones.

In addition to basic chat, it supports:

• Speech to text and TTS models
• Can perform web searches
• Can drag files into Newelle to discuss it’s contents
• Run terminal commands
• Manage files
• Other features like image generation can be added through it’s plugin system.

Obviously you’ll want to be careful with letting it interact with your system directly through files/terminal commands, but still sounds pretty promising.
