I am new in the company here and I am wondering if there would be a good way to organize the information I get. Sometimes I get explanations on zoom, sometimes I get code snippets as example etc.

We have confluence but the documentation there is not as good and rather basic. Details like I get in that snippets or explanations are entirely missing.

At the moment I tried to summarize and merge all in a document to have a central place to search for information. But after some pages I already noticed that is not the best way to organize that.

​

The most practical way for me would be like the new knowledge base feature on ChatGPT, like I could feed the information I get there and e.g. in the future I could ask the bot first for some explanation or similar. But since that are sensitive data, it would need to be a self hosted solution or even local one.

Do you have a better solution for me?

I've stopped using my wiki as I discovered https://www.bookstackapp.com/

The advantage is it forced me to organise my notes rather then the mess I had before while still maintaining the ability to link between scribblings...

Sounds like OP wants an LLM-based solution, which is not something built into BookStack by default.

Danswer might be an option here. It has a confluence connector (and I also wrote a BookStack connector for it). If have a video of me using it (with BookStack) here at about 7:55. When I used it last it only worked with OpenAI but I think it supports local models now.
