About Kognix
AI answers that stay inside your material
Kognix indexes only what you give it, retrieves only from what you uploaded, and cites every claim back to the original passage. No guessing. No hallucinations.
The problem
Why Kognix exists
General-purpose AI tools are trained on the entire internet. They're great for broad questions — but the moment you ask about your professor's lecture slides or a specific company report, they guess to fill the gaps. Those guesses sound confident, but they're not grounded in your source material.
Kognix solves that. It indexes only what you give it, retrieves only from what you uploaded, and cites every claim back to the original passage. If the answer isn't in your documents, it says so.

Values
Principles
Four principles guide every decision — from how data is stored to how answers are presented.
Grounded by default
Every answer cites the exact passage it came from. If the answer isn't in your documents, Kognix says so.
Your data stays yours
Documents are stored per-user. Kognix never trains on your uploads or shares them across accounts.
Open source
The full stack is MIT licensed and available on GitHub. Audit the retrieval path or self-host entirely.
Simple and focused
Upload, ask, get cited answers. No bloat, no dashboards you'll never use, no features that get in the way.
Open source
Self-hosting coming soonBuilt in the open. Run it yourself.
Kognix is open-source under the MIT licence. The full stack — Next.js frontend, .NET API, Pinecone vector store, PostgreSQL — is available to fork, audit, and extend.
