# Gramax

> Open-source knowledge base that stores Markdown in Git

Gramax is an open-source application for writing and publishing documentation and internal knowledge bases. Authors work in a visual editor while the content is saved as Markdown files and synchronized through a Git storage such as GitHub or GitLab, and catalogs are published to a reader portal. The open-source version is free, and a paid Enterprise Server adds single sign-on, roles, analytics, training tests and ready-to-use AI.

## Ways to pay less

## Key features

- **Visual editor over Markdown and Git:** Articles are edited visually and saved as Markdown files. Syncing and publishing run on Git commands built into the interface, against GitHub, GitLab, Gitea or another Git storage.
- **Documentation portal:** Catalogs are published as a site for readers through Gramax Cloud, a Docker container on your own server or a static site. Portals and readers are unlimited in both versions.
- **Diagrams, templates and fragments:** Articles can include Diagrams.net, Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams, start from article templates and reuse fragments of content across articles.
- **Versions and change approval:** Catalogs keep versions and a change history, and an edit proposed by an author or the AI agent is reviewed line by line before it is accepted.
- **AI search and AI agent:** Readers ask a question and get an answer with links to the source articles, and the agent flags duplicates and conflicts. The free version runs on your own model; Enterprise needs no model setup.
- **Training and metrics:** Enterprise Server adds questions inside articles with test results per employee, plus visit history, search queries and click-through rates for finding gaps.

## Good for

- Teams that want documentation kept as Markdown files in their own Git repository
- Product and developer documentation published as a reader portal
- Companies with many readers and few authors, since only editors need a license

## Worth knowing

- Corporate SSO, admin-panel access management, analytics, training tests and portal notifications are limited to Enterprise Server.
- Enterprise Server has a 10-license minimum, so the smallest purchase is $200 a month or $7,000 one-time.
- In the open-source version the AI agent and AI search run on a model you supply.
- Sharing work between people depends on a Git storage, and the docs list browser and desktop versions but no mobile apps.
