it's still mindblowing to be that jev isn't a reranker but it performs like one

love to see this integration
introducing @LangChain × kapa your langchain agents can now search all your company knowledge more accurately, 3x faster and 8x cheaper than frontier models we synch docs, github, notion, slack, zendesk and more into a single index (with vectors + file system) your agent gets two tools: search everything, and read the full doc it takes 2 min for your agent to set up (+ free to try) just paste this into your agent: "set up a knowledge base for my agent using docs.kapa.ai/getting-started… and pip install langchain-kapa-ai to use official plugin" keep making agents go brr @hwchase17 + team!

we think this is a peak into the future of how agents will use the web :)
introducing WebMCP in kapa any agent that visits your website can now ask your company directly today agents scrape your pages and tries to convert them to markdown. it's the early mobile web all over again, pinching and zooming through sites built for someone else instead WebMCP lets your site hand agents a proper tool. answers come from your own knowledge with source links. and you get analytics! codex and chatgpt's browser already use it. chrome has it in an origin trial if you are an existing kapa user, it's a one line change for your widget: data-webmcp-enabled="true" if you aren't, you can try it for free for 14 days :)

we just killed RAG in n8n. introducing the official @kapa_ai node for @n8n_io no more: - chunkers, embeddings and vector stores to babysit - re-index jobs that quietly go stale - naive 2024 rag pipelines instead, kapa: ✓ connects all your sources to one index ✓ keeps it in sync by itself ✓ gets better answers in half the tokens and its free to try :)

Ever found the answer buried between docs, tickets and GitHub? @kapa_ai, co-founded by @emilsnotes, has a ChatGPT plugin to pull source-backed answers from your team’s knowledge. 14-day trial, then paid. chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_a…

introducing the official @kapa_ai for grok @bot stop your bots making up answers about your product connect your docs, help center and tickets once. every bot answers from them, and keeps up when they change. now you can easily build bots to: - answer support questions accurately - fill in security questionnaires from your docs - build sales coaches that review calls and coaches reps best part: your bot spots gaps in your docs and opens PRs to fix them :)

claude code can now index any wesbite for itself claude plugin marketplace add kapa-ai/kapa-plugin claude plugin install kapa@kapa then just say "index react and django docs" ~2 minutes later your agent searches a live, cited copy of it free. no card. no vector db to babysit

Super excited that @clickhousedb uses @kapa_ai 🚀 Helping developers AND their coding agents get unstuck on a deeply technical platform. ClickHouse uses Kapa to power AI answers across its documentation, with MCP making that same knowledge available to coding agents directly in the IDE. Helping people get unstuck and get more out of the product. Awesome to be working together!

used the @CustomerIO MCP and the @kapa_ai MCP to email kapa customers announcing the @kapa_ai MCP one of those customers is @CustomerIO i swear this is not a riddle
Introducing the Kapa MCP set up and run @kapa_ai without opening @kapa_ai > launch a docs agent > add a Slack bot for your team > index Zendesk, Confluence, Notion + 30 more > spin up an MCP server > read your top questions and docs gaps > open PRs to fix the docs all from one chat in Claude or Cursor the dashboard is feeling a bit left out :)

annnnnd HN front page!!
introducing Company Knowledge Bench the first retrieval benchmark built on messy, real-world company knowledge soon agents will do a huge share of the work inside every company. all of it starts with finding the right information, but almost nobody can measure how well their agents actually find it public benchmarks don't help. they're either one narrow domain like law or medicine, or synthetic documents and questions. real company knowledge is messy, contradicts itself and goes out of date retrieval is the core of @kapa_ai, so we spent months building our own benchmark from 1,000 real-world queries by people and agents then we ran 7 retrievers on it: 1/ grep works surprisingly well, but it's 5x slower and floods the context with 40K tokens per query 2/ optimized agentic retrievers do far better. Kapa Deep scored highest (0.65) in ~5s with an eighth of the tokens 3/ we're still very early. lots of headroom left, especially as more agents run on company knowledge full write-up below
