Overview
PandaWiki builds documentation sites, FAQs and blogs from an admin console, and adds AI-assisted writing, question answering and search over the stored documents. Content can be imported from a URL, sitemap, RSS or offline files, and a published site can be embedded as a web widget or connected to DingTalk, Feishu and WeCom bots. It installs on Linux through a shell script and needs an LLM configured before the AI features work.
Who it is for: Teams self-hosting a public or internal docs site with AI Q&A
