What is pipeshub-ai?

This is a powerful opensource communication platform — self-host it to keep full control over your team's chat data.

Main components

• 📝 Explainable Answers: PipesHub delivers grounded answers with precise block citations to the original documents.
• 🔒 Permission-Aware Search: Enforces source-level access controls so users only see what they're authorized to.
• 🧠 Bring Your Own Model, Fully Self-Hostable: Any LLM provider, deployed in your VPC — data never leaves your infrastructure.
• 🔌 Enterprise Connectors: 50+ connectors with real-time and scheduled indexing out of the box.
• 🕸️ Knowledge Graph Retrieval: Graph-backed retrieval that captures relationships across enterprise data.
• 🎙️ Multimodal Support: Image, diagram, and scanned-file understanding plus voice-based interaction.
• 🔍 Unified Search, Deep Research, and Agents: Search, Q&A, deep research, web search, and AI agents on one context layer.
• 🤖 No-Code Agents and Actions: Build agents visually and execute actions across enterprise tools.

The biggest strength is full control over chat data — something no commercial alternative grants you.

Best for remote teams, tech companies, communities — anyone who wants chat history kept private.
