Mac-first MVP
Apple silicon Mac and macOS 12 or newer. Maple guides any one-time connection setup it needs.
Local AI wiki builder
Maple
Turn PDFs, slides, documents, notes, data, links, and images into a local wiki that you can review, ask, and maintain on your Mac.
For Apple silicon Macs. Requires macOS 12 or newer and your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription.
Bring your own AI
Use the AI subscription you already have
Maple does not sell AI credits or require a Maple account. It runs wiki operations through your signed-in ChatGPT or Claude setup on this Mac.
Your AI account
Build, ask, apply, and maintain through your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription.
Local workspaces
Sources, wiki pages, review state, and generated artifacts stay in ordinary folders on your Mac.
Workflow
From scattered sources to a maintained wiki
Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki: keep raw sources separate while an AI-maintained wiki becomes the working layer for learning and research.
Create a wiki workspace
Start with one topic, course, archive, project, or skill path.
Import sources
Add PDFs, Office files, Markdown, text, JSON, CSV, HTML, links, or images.
Build wiki
Maple prepares readable artifacts when needed, then asks AI to compile summaries, concepts, and guides.
Review changes
Open generated files, inspect the result, then choose Done reviewing or Undo last operation.
Ask Wiki and apply
Ask about the wiki or selected source, then turn useful answers into reviewable wiki edits.
Maintain
Run healthchecks, improve structure, organize sources, and update durable workspace rules.
Beginner guide
What Maple means by an AI wiki
Maple is not a blank Markdown editor or a one-off document chat. It keeps your original material untouched, prepares readable copies when needed, then asks AI to compile that material into a local, linked wiki you can review, ask, and improve over time.
Think of it as a study notebook that keeps getting organized.
In a normal chat, the useful explanation disappears into the conversation. In Maple, useful explanations become pages, links, guides, and reviewable updates inside a workspace that stays on your Mac.
Read the full guide-
1
Sources are the reference shelf.
PDFs, Office files, notes, data, links, screenshots, and papers stay as original evidence.
-
2
The wiki is the working layer.
AI drafts summaries, concepts, guides, links, images, and navigation from those sources.
-
3
Ask and apply stay separate.
Ask Wiki is read-only by default. Apply to wiki creates reviewable edits only when you choose it.
Local first
Your archive stays inspectable
Maple is built around plain local folders: sources stay immutable, prepared artifacts live under .aiwiki, generated wiki pages are reviewable, and the workspace can be opened outside the app when you need it.
No Maple account
The MVP does not add app accounts, payments, or sync.
Local file storage
Workspaces use readable folders like sources, wiki, index.md, log.md, schema.md, and AGENTS.md.
Review and undo
Generated edits are tracked so you can inspect or undo the last AI operation.
