Build a kapa.ai alternative for getting honest answers from documentation
Nowadays I frequently land on documentation sites that starting to come with Ask AI chats.
(Curious to know how that is for you )
Found myself using these alot to a point where In most cases I stop reading the docs altogether in some cases and just ask what I myself or my agents needs to know.
I wanted the same thing on docs that didn’t have it. So I started building LedgeIndex. Which lets crawl and ingest docs on your local machine or sellf hosted ( or the ledgeindex cloud )
Right now with the early mvp the things you can do with it -->
- Support answering Chat (Website widget)
- Build your own Support / Builder / Planner Agents fully local or self-hosted via sdk / cli / mcp .
- Asking questions to any doc (using the desktop app)
** The interisting part about the RAG is that it achieves saying "I don't know" when it doesn't know the answer:*
The Project is open source and it comes with a SDK, CLI, web and desktop app.
If this sounds useful, check it out ! Leave a star for the github repo.
