Guides for installing Wikai, ingesting sources, and getting the most out of your wiki. More pages are on the way.

• Getting started Install Wikai, create your first wiki, ingest a source, and ask your first question.
• The wiki model How a Wikai wiki is laid out on disk — folders, pages, frontmatter, links, and the index.
• Editing pages Edit any page in place — autosave, the edit-lock shield, and what the editor can and can't do.
• Ingesting sources Add EPUB, PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, web links, and Markdown — and what Wikai does with each.
• Daily notes & follow-ups Capture a thought in two seconds, let the agent sort it, and keep every open to-do in one place.
• The chat sidebar Ask questions grounded in your wiki, and connect an agent backend — Claude Code or the Anthropic API.
• Work documents Run long-running research that Wikai tracks — with a goal, a definition-of-done checklist, and a progress log.
• Lint & maintenance Wikai lints your wiki like a compiler lints code — finding broken links, orphans, and drift.
• MCP Wikai exposes your wiki over the Model Context Protocol so external agents can read and edit it.
• Settings reference Every Wikai setting — wikis root, agent backends, lint thresholds, and the chat sidebar — and where config lives.
• Troubleshooting Fixes for the common snags — agent setup, first-run config, search warm-up, and install warnings.
• Privacy & data What stays on your disk, what leaves your machine and why, and how internet search is gated.
• Verifying your download Confirm a Wikai installer is genuine — code signing on macOS and Windows, plus signed auto-updates.
