DocsGPT is an open-source AI platform that turns your documents, websites and connected apps into private AI agents and enterprise search. Every answer comes with citations to its sources, and the whole stack runs inside your own environment with the model of your choice. Started in 2023, DocsGPT has grown far beyond documentation chat and has earned about 18,300 stars on GitHub.
DocsGPT combines a knowledge engine with an agent platform. You connect sources such as PDFs, Office files, web pages, Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, GitHub or S3, and it keeps them in sync with retrieval that includes GraphRAG. On top of that knowledge you build agents with their own prompts, tools and models, chain them in a visual workflow builder with conditions and sandboxed code, and deploy them through a web app, embeddable chat widgets, an OpenAI-compatible API, an MCP server, or chat bots for Slack, Discord and Telegram. Guardrails flag PII, secrets and prompt injection, and enterprise needs like SSO, roles, quotas and audit logs are included in the open-source release.
DocsGPT is free and open source under the MIT license for self-hosting, including team features like SSO. The makers also run DocsGPT Cloud, a hosted version with paid plans, so the overall offering is freemium.
DocsGPT is for teams and companies that want ChatGPT-style assistants over their internal knowledge without sending documents to a third-party SaaS, and for developers embedding grounded AI search into products.
