Aktapus — A self-improving knowledge wiki for LLM agents

A local CLI. Pipe in videos, docs, and repos. Ask cited questions. When a source is missing, the agent fetches the primary source, adds it as a wiki page, and re-answers — same turn. The wiki gets denser with every question.

RAG searches at query time. Aktapus compiles at build time.

Install (macOS arm64, Linux amd64)

curl -fsSL https://aktapus.ai/install.sh | bash
