How to search and retrieve knowledge with your AI

Connect Wiki.js to your AI client once. After that, your agent can pull any technical detail or guide directly from your wiki.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I find specific technical answers in my Wiki.js?

Your AI uses the Wiki.js Connector to scan your pages and pull the exact text you need. It turns your entire wiki into a searchable knowledge base for your agent. You'll get specific answers instead of hunting through folders.

Where your data lands

What you get from your wiki search

The AI turns your documentation into direct answers.

SEARCH

Instant documentation lookup

The AI finds the right pages based on your question. You get the specific technical context without manual browsing.

READ

Deep content retrieval

Once a page is found, the AI reads the full content. This allows it to summarize complex deployment steps or configuration settings.

EXTRACT

Specific data points

The AI pulls out single values like IP addresses, version numbers, or specific command flags from your docs.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You decide if the AI's summary is sufficient. You remain in control of the final technical decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask a question.

The AI moves from broad searching to specific reading to give you a complete answer.

  1. Locate relevant pages

    The AI scans your Wiki.js library to find pages that match your technical query.

    search_pages

  2. Retrieve page content

    After finding the right location, the AI pulls the full text of the specific page.

  3. Analyze the data

    The AI parses the retrieved text to find the specific answer or command you asked for.

    get_page

  4. Deliver the answer

    The AI presents the information in your chat interface, citing the source from your wiki.
