Show HN: Cognipedia – Open-Source Grokipedia

2 hours ago 1

An online encyclopedia, with its articles generated by LLMs. You may even say that this is the true open source Grokipedia.

Bun 1.3.x+
OpenRouter API key
Tavily API key (can someone provide a fully free and good search engine for the agent?)
PostgreSQL database

git clone https://github.com/frolleks/cognipedia && cd cognipedia

cp ./article-creator-agent/.env.example ./article-creator-agent/.env cp ./app/.env.example ./app/.env

Then fill in the environment variables with their values respectively.

For the article-creator-agent, you can customize which LLM to use to whatever that's available in OpenRouter.

cd app && bun run db:generate

For some reason, drizzle-kit doesn't generate SQL for the enums, so you must add it manually to the migration file:

-- in app/drizzle/0000_xxx.sql CREATE TYPE article_status AS ENUM ('draft', 'review', 'published', 'archived');

Then migrate to the database:

bun run db:migrate && cd ..

Using the article-creator-agent, you can generate articles by running:

bun run ./article-creator-agent/index.ts "any topic you'd want to generate an article on"

You can do this operation multiple times.

After that, you can ingest the articles to the database:

cd app && bun run ingest:dump
