Self-hosted first
KnowWiz runs in your VPC, your data center, or fully air-gapped. The index, the models, and the pipeline all stay inside the environment you control.
Knowledge Wizards started in 2026 with one idea: a company should be able to ask its own knowledge and verify every answer, without documents ever leaving its control.
Why we exist
The answers people need already exist, scattered across drives, wikis, tickets, and chat threads. Teams re-ask questions that were settled months ago. Generic AI chat does not close the gap: it cannot see inside your company, and when it does answer you have no way to check whether it is right. We built KnowWiz so teams can ask their own knowledge in plain language, see the documents behind every answer, and keep every one of those documents inside the infrastructure they control.
What we believe
KnowWiz runs in your VPC, your data center, or fully air-gapped. The index, the models, and the pipeline all stay inside the environment you control.
Retrieval respects the permissions of the underlying sources. People only get answers from documents they can already open, so search never becomes a new way to overshare.
Every answer links back to the documents it came from. A claim is one click from its evidence, so teams can verify instead of trust blindly.
Run Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini, or keep everything local with Ollama and vLLM. Swap providers without rebuilding your knowledge layer.
Our story
KnowWiz is early. Rather than a history we have not lived yet, here is what the company is built to stand for.
Founded
Knowledge Wizards was founded to make company knowledge answerable, with a self-hosted-first, cited, permission-aware philosophy.
Self-hosted
Your knowledge is answered where you deploy it. Documents never leave the infrastructure you run.
Cited answers
Every answer shows its sources, so people can check the evidence for themselves instead of taking it on faith.
Permission-aware
Answers follow the access rules already set on your sources. Nothing new to overshare, nothing hidden that a person could already read.
See it on your own docs
A 30-minute working session: connect a source, watch the index build, and ask real questions against your own documents.
Self-hosted pilot on your infrastructure. Your data never touches ours.
