Wissano makes maintenance plans, reports, contracts and hard-won experience queryable through a chat. Every answer backed by your own documents, every line on your own server.
Self-hosted · Private by design · No mandatory cloud
It sits in folders on the server, in filing cabinets and in the heads of the people who have been around for twenty years. Three numbers from daily business:
of working time is lost to searching for knowledge
Employees gather information instead of working with it. With four employees, one is effectively working as a search engine.
Industry studies on knowledge work, incl. Atlassian
people worldwide will be aged 60 or older by 2030
Population ageing is global. Organizations that preserve process knowledge early are better prepared when experienced employees retire or change roles.

answers come out of a folder full of PDF files
Storage is not knowledge management. Documents nobody finds and nobody can ask do not help in daily business.
The reason Wissano exists
Your company has built its knowledge over years, some of it over generations: strategies, procedures, tricks, decisions and the reasons behind them. Too often it depends on individual people. Three situations where Wissano makes the difference:
Your most experienced man retires, a successor has not been found, a handover never happens. No company wants to live through that scenario. With Wissano his knowledge stays in the house: the maintenance tricks, the supplier agreements, the reasons behind decisions. Captured once, retrievable forever.
One account, the accounting knowledge space, done. The new colleague asks Wissano instead of interrupting someone three times a day, and she does not pick up just any knowledge but exactly the knowledge of your company. Even when the person who could have shown her is long gone.
Last maintenance, the person in charge, the matching troubleshooting guide: Wissano answers in seconds and backs every statement with the exact passage from your own documents. The knowledge is there, even when the person who wrote it down is not.
Wissano is your company's memory. One that never retires.
New employees and apprentices learn exactly what your company knows. You set up targeted training topics, and Wissano answers every question about them with a citation, at their own pace, around the clock. Even when the experienced colleague has no time to spare.
The essential steps and rules before anyone goes near the press.
Intervals, contacts and procedure, straight from the maintenance manual.
How your company records, charges and settles accounts properly.
The path from the customer report to a cleanly documented resolution.
For every department Whether at the machine, in bookkeeping or in administration: Wissano passes on your knowledge in every part of the business, to every new colleague.
The apprentice works through the topic at their own pace and asks Wissano as often as they like. Every answer comes with a citation from your own documents. So they learn exactly your procedures on your machines, not something random from the internet.
Your files flow in, Wissano breaks them into numbered sections, and the question pulls out exactly the citation that fits.

Pick a question, and the document lights up exactly the passages the answer relies on. Wissano's core promise, right at your fingertips.
The HP-200 hydraulic press is serviced every three months at a fixed maintenance interval. Responsibility lies with the technical team on extension 4711. For faults outside the interval, notify the shift lead first. Spare parts are ordered through the store in hall 2, with a delivery time of two working days.
Drop documents in, choose the space, done. Wissano extracts the text, splits it into sections and automatically prepares everything for hybrid search.
Classic search only finds literal matches. Wissano combines full-text search with semantic search and therefore understands differently phrased questions too.
Not all knowledge is meant for everyone. Every document lives in exactly one space, and you decide who is a member.
Wissano runs on your server, in your network, under your control. With local AI models the system even works completely without an internet connection.
Your company memory stays as orderly as a good filing cabinet: every document sits visibly in its register, with space and status.
The tab sits on top of the window like a hanging folder and shows which register you are browsing.
So it stays clear where every answer comes from, without knowledge disappearing into people's heads or forgotten folders.
Every tier includes the full feature set; the only difference is the number of user accounts. You test for 30 days free of charge with all features, no payment details required.
All prices net, plus VAT where applicable. Monthly billing via SEPA direct debit, yearly billing via invoice; billing details are agreed by email. If a license runs out, your data is fully preserved: reading, search and backup keep working.
Start Wissano via Docker or directly on your server. The assistant creates the admin account.
Add a local model via Ollama or your own API, test the connection, done.
Create spaces, invite your team, drop in documents. The rest runs automatically.
From now on your company knowledge answers, backed by sources.
No, not unless you want it to. Wissano runs entirely on your infrastructure. With local models via Ollama, even the AI processing stays in-house. Only if you deliberately choose an external API provider do requests go there, and even then only the relevant text passages.
Wissano answers exclusively from your documents and backs every statement with a clickable source. You can verify any answer at the original passage with one click. If the system finds no suitable basis, it says so openly instead of making something up.
A normal server is enough for search and knowledge preparation. For fluent chat answers with local models a GPU is recommended, common models already run well on cards with 8 GB of memory. Alternatively, start with an external API and switch to local models later without rebuilding anything.
Installation takes minutes with Docker. After that it depends on your documents: upload, organize spaces, invite the team. Many companies ask their knowledge the first questions on the very same day.
PDF, Word (docx), Excel (xlsx), CSV, text and Markdown, up to 50 MB per file. Scanned PDFs without a text layer are read by the built-in OCR, which runs fully offline. Content is automatically extracted, split into sections and prepared for search.
Yes. With folder sources, Wissano imports entire directories as knowledge sources, for example an Obsidian vault or a file share on the server. Content is kept in sync manually or on a schedule: new files are added, changed ones reprocessed, deleted ones removed. Your original files remain untouched.
Yes, that is what knowledge spaces are for. Every document lives in exactly one space, and you decide the members. The rights apply everywhere: whoever has no access to a space will not see its content in the library, in search or in chat.
Wissano is an annual license: €990 (Team, up to 10 user accounts), €2,490 (Business, up to 50) or €4,990 (Unlimited), each net per year with the full feature set. You test for 30 days free of charge, no payment details required. See the pricing section for details.
