WikiAI
Coming soonThe open encyclopedia of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence moves faster than the documentation that explains it. Serious definitions are scattered across research papers, vendor blogs and discussion threads, mostly in English and rarely current. WikiAI gathers that knowledge in one place.
Public and freeFrench and EnglishPeer reviewedDocumentation that has not kept up
In three years, artificial intelligence moved from the laboratory into daily professional life. The vocabulary followed: RAG, agents, MCP, fine-tuning, quantization. Every week brings one more model, one more tool, one more acronym.
The documentation has not followed. What exists is split between research papers unreadable by non-specialists, posts published by the vendors themselves — judge and jury at once — and discussion threads whose shelf life is measured in days. Most of it is in English, and much of it is already out of date by the time you read it.
The result: a student, a teacher or an executive who wants to understand what a large language model actually is, what the EU AI Act changes, or what the word "agent" really covers has no neutral, reliable place to start.
What WikiAI is
WikiAI is a public, free and collaborative encyclopedia devoted entirely to artificial intelligence. One place to look up a definition, understand an architecture, compare models, place a market player or check what a regulation actually says.
The model is a wiki: pages written and reviewed by a qualified community, versioned, correctable, citable. What differs is the scope — one domain, treated in depth — and the qualification of the contributors.
How the content is organised
Around 250 pages across thirteen broad domains.
| Domain | Contents |
|---|---|
| Fundamentals | Definitions, history, the AI winters and springs, an A-to-Z glossary |
| Machine learning | Supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning, data preparation, evaluation |
| Deep learning | Neural networks, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, generative models, emerging architectures |
| Large language models | How they work, a model landscape, training, prompting, RAG, agents, deployment |
| Computer vision | Classification, detection, segmentation, image and video generation, multimodality |
| Natural language processing | Tasks, embeddings, speech processing |
| MLOps and infrastructure | From notebook to production: experiment tracking, deployment, monitoring, platforms |
| Tools and frameworks | PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, vector databases, annotation |
| Application sectors | Health, finance, education, industry, transport, energy, legal, creative work, cybersecurity |
| Ecosystem | Tech giants, startups, European players, laboratories, conferences, careers |
| Ethics and regulation | Bias, privacy, deepfakes, environmental impact, the EU AI Act, international standards |
| Mathematics | Linear algebra, probability, calculus, information theory |
| Research and trends | State of the art, frontiers, foundational papers, learning resources |
Three levels, four paths
Every page carries an explicit level — beginner, intermediate, advanced — so a reader knows straight away whether the content is within reach. The spread aims for balance: roughly 37% of pages need no prerequisites, 50% are intermediate, 13% advanced. Four reading paths guide newcomers by intent.
I am discovering AI
From the fundamentals to the basics of prompting, with no technical prerequisites.
I want to practise
From Python to deploying RAG applications and agents.
I want to go deep
From the mathematics to the research papers.
I am a decision-maker
Sector uses, ethics, regulation, a map of the market.
Bilingual by construction
Every page exists in French and in English, under two distinct paths. French is not a late translation of the English: both versions are treated as content in their own right. It is a direct answer to a very real imbalance — most quality AI documentation exists today only in English.
Who writes
Editing rights are not open to everyone. They are reserved for four groups.
Researchers in artificial intelligence and related disciplines.
Teachers in universities and colleges.
Students in the relevant programmes.
Professionals: leaders of AI-specialised companies, and leaders of companies embedding AI in their services.
This choice is structural: it sets the bar at the door rather than trying to claw it back through moderation.
Peer review
Quality rests on a process drawn from academia and from code review: a submitted page goes to a reviewer assigned by expertise, who approves it, requests changes or declines it, before publication.
A mentoring programme supports new contributors through their first pages.
WikiAI uses what it explains
Conversational search
Ask a question in plain language and get a synthesised answer built from the wiki's own content, with links to the source pages.
Automatic summaries
A summary at the top of long articles, to decide in ten seconds whether the page answers the need.
Reading suggestions
Related pages, popular pages by section, coherent reading sequences.
Every generated answer cites its sources. On a subject where models readily invent, traceability is not optional.
Recognising those who write
A wiki lives only through the people who write it.
Public author profiles, with expertise and contributions.
Reactions and quality signals on pages.
A contributor ranking and progression badges.
Subscriptions to an author or a section, and a weekly newsletter of new publications.
The technical choices
WikiAI runs on Wiki.js, a proven open-source wiki platform whose core is left untouched — that is what keeps it compatible with upstream updates. Two in-house services sit alongside it: an engagement API in Node.js for the community features, and an intelligence service in Python for conversational search, recommendations and summaries. A shared PostgreSQL database, a pgvector index, and an interface in light and dark themes.
A NOVYUP product
WikiAI is published and operated by NOVYUP, an independent publisher of digital platforms.
| Business model | A public, free encyclopedia, published and funded by NOVYUP. |

| Target market | Students, teachers, researchers, professionals and decision-makers, in French as well as English. |
| Current stage | Under construction — content architecture, visual identity, permission model and technical architecture are defined; rollout is planned in four phases. |
