MaxKB

Ready-to-use, flexible RAG Chatbot

基于大模型和 RAG 的开源知识库问答系统

MaxKB = Max Knowledge Base, it is a chatbot based on Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). MaxKB is widely applied in scenarios such as intelligent customer service, corporate internal knowledge bases, academic research, and education. - **Ready-to-Use**: Supports direct uploading of documents / automatic crawling of online documents, with features for automatic text splitting, vectorization, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). This effectively reduces hallucinations in large models, providing a superior smart Q&A interaction experience. - **Flexible Orchestration**: Equipped with a powerful workflow engine and function library, enabling the orchestration of AI processes to meet the needs of complex business scenarios. - **Seamless Integration**: Facilitates zero-coding rapid integration into third-party business systems, quickly equipping existing systems with intelligent Q&A capabilities to enhance user satisfaction. - **Model-Agnostic**: Supports various large models, including private models (such as DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen, etc.) and public models (like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.). ## Quick start Execute the script below to start a MaxKB container using Docker: ```bash docker run -d --name=maxkb --restart=always -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.maxkb:/var/lib/postgresql/data -v ~/.python-packages:/opt/maxkb/app/sandbox/python-packages 1panel/maxkb ``` Access MaxKB web interface at `http://your_server_ip:8080` with default admin credentials: - username: admin - password: MaxKB@123.. 中国用户如遇到 Docker 镜像 Pull 失败问题，请参照该 [离线安装文档](https://maxkb.cn/docs/installation/offline_installtion/) 进行安装。 ## Screenshots
