mAItion is an open-source knowledge-management and RAG workspace for organizations that want to chat with scattered internal data without building every connector, ingestion job, and chat interface from scratch. It combines scheduled data ingestion, deduplication, MediaWiki and S3 connectors, web-search ingestion, document upload, code execution, speech features, image generation hooks, MCP server support, and multi-user permissions into one deployable system. The product is aimed at teams with wikis, files, search results, and operational knowledge spread across systems who need a practical private AI interface over that content. Its recent Show HN appearance and public documentation make it notable as a more complete, self-hostable alternative to small RAG demos.
