Getting Started

Welcome to MyWiki — your AI-maintained knowledge base. Learn how to add your first source and start building your wiki.

Welcome

MyWiki is a knowledge base maintained by LLM agents. You provide sources — the AI summarizes, cross-references, and organizes them into a structured wiki.

This page will disappear automatically once you add your first piece of content.


Add your first source

There are two ways to get content into your wiki:

Option A: Drop a file into raw/

Place any file (markdown, PDF, text, etc.) into the raw/ directory:

raw/2026-04-05-my-first-article.md

Then tell your AI agent:

"Ingest raw/2026-04-05-my-first-article.md"

Option B: Send a URL or paste text directly

Just share it with the AI in conversation:

"Ingest this article: https://example.com/some-article"

"Ingest this: (paste your text here)"

The agent will save it to raw/, then proceed with ingestion.


What happens next

  1. The agent reads your source in full
  2. It presents 3–7 key takeaways for you to review
  3. After your confirmation, it writes structured summaries and wiki pages
  4. Pages are automatically cross-referenced with [[wikilinks]]

A single source can touch 5–15 wiki pages — creating new ones and updating existing ones.


Directory structure

DirectoryWhat goes there
raw/Original sources (immutable, any format)
sources/Per-source summaries (auto-generated)
pages/Wiki pages — concepts, entities, topics
maps/High-level overview maps
queries/Explorations, comparisons, analyses

Querying your wiki

Once you have content, ask your agent anything:

"What have I read about X?"

"Compare A and B"

"Summarize everything tagged with Y"

The agent searches the wiki and synthesizes an answer. If it's valuable, it can be saved to queries/.


Extensions
