AI document search across GitHub, Notion, Google Drive, Confluence, S3, local files, and web sources with source citations
Ask questions in natural language across GitHub, Notion, Google Drive, Confluence, S3, and local files. Get cited answers with source links — not hallucinations.
Keep model traffic on your network with Ollama, or explicitly opt into OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. The runtime enforces the configured cloud-processing policy.
21 installable packages — 8 parsers (PDF, DOCX, code, Jupyter), 8 connectors (GitHub, Notion, Drive), and 5 AI model providers.
Works as a knowledge base for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible tool. 19 tools for search, indexing, and admin.
Find Korean docs with English queries and vice versa. Hybrid search combines semantic vectors (LanceDB) with keyword matching (SQLite FTS5) via Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
Team-mode init enables PII redaction and audit logging, creates the first admin key, and adds OAuth, RBAC, workspace isolation, HTTPS enforcement, and per-key rate limiting.
OpenDocuments is an open source, self-hosted RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) platform that connects scattered organizational documents and lets you search and ask questions using AI with source citations.
Unlike cloud-only solutions, OpenDocuments can run entirely on your own infrastructure with local LLMs via Ollama. Your data can stay inside your network.
| Feature | OpenDocuments | Cloud alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Data privacy | Can stay local with Ollama; cloud providers require explicit policy approval | Data sent to third-party servers |
| Cost | Free, open source (MIT) | $20-100+/user/month |
| File formats | 12+ formats (PDF, DOCX, code, Jupyter...) | Limited format support |
| Data sources | 8 connectors plus local upload and directory indexing | Vendor-specific integrations |
| Customization | Plugin system, full source access | Closed source, limited APIs |
| AI models | Any model (Ollama, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) | Locked to one provider |
| Korean support | Built-in cross-lingual search | Usually English-only |
npm install -g opendocuments
