MaxKB (Max Knowledge Brain) is an open-source platform for building enterprise-grade AI agents with strong knowledge retrieval, RAG pipelines, and workflow orchestration. It focuses on practical deployments such as customer support, internal knowledge bases, research assistants, and education, bundling tools for data ingestion, chunking, embedding, retrieval, and answer synthesis. The system exposes flexible tool-use (including MCP), supports multi-model backends, and provides dashboards for dataset management and evaluation. It’s backed by an active org that also builds adjacent ops tooling, and there’s a dedicated documentation repo for configuration and contribution. Community posts describe “self-host your ChatGPT-style assistant” positioning, with integrations and workflows to move from demo to production. Security advisories are tracked publicly, with upgrade guidance when issues arise.
