# DocsGPT Guide

## Overview

DocsGPT is an open-source platform for building private AI-powered document analysis and question-answering systems. It uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to enable natural language queries against your own document collections, making it particularly valuable for researchers who need to quickly extract information from large corpora of papers, technical reports, and institutional documentation.

Unlike general-purpose chatbots, DocsGPT operates on your specific documents, providing grounded answers with source citations. This is critical in academic settings where hallucinated information can derail research. The platform supports a wide range of document formats including PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, and plain text, covering the formats most commonly encountered in research workflows.

With over 18,000 GitHub stars and an active development community, DocsGPT offers both self-hosted deployment for data-sensitive research environments and a cloud-hosted option for quick evaluation. The self-hosted approach ensures that proprietary research data, unpublished manuscripts, and confidential institutional documents never leave your infrastructure.

## Installation and Setup

Deploy DocsGPT using Docker Compose for the simplest setup:
