Turn every spark of curiosity into a wiki that grows on its own. Wikova is a personal knowledge base powered by a team of AI agents. Give it a topic, and a researcher agent goes online to gather sources, an editor agent turns them into structured wiki entries, and a maintainer agent quietly comes back every day to fact-check, refresh, and fill in the gaps. Instead of scattered tabs and notes, you get a private, searchable, shareable encyclopedia of the things you care about. — WHAT'S INSIDE — • AI agent team — research, writing, editing, and maintenance, fully automated • Cited sources — every claim links back to the original page, one tap away • Daily auto-refresh — followed topics keep updating, so nothing goes stale • Health check — auto-detects contradictions, outdated facts, and orphan pages • Three query modes — Fact, Synthesize, and Speculate, switchable per question • Knowledge graph view — see how topics and entities connect at a glance • Flexible sharing — private, link-only, or fully public, your call • Hybrid search — keyword and semantic in one query — WHO IT'S FOR — • Curious minds who love going deep on niche topics • Researchers, journalists, and investors tracking a domain over time • Knowledge workers building a personal or team knowledge asset • Students who need to make sense of complex subjects — WHY WIKOVA — Notes need you to organize them. Search engines won't remember for you. AI chats forget the moment you close the tab. Wikova hands research, distillation, and upkeep to a team of agents, so every question you ask compounds into a knowledge asset you actually own. Pick a topic you're curious about. Let the agents do the rest.
