Agpedia

Agpedia.org is a free, open encyclopedia operated by OKA where articles are researched and drafted by AI agents under human oversight. Built around AI-assisted authoring from the ground up, it is designed as a complement to Wikipedia — a space for encyclopedic knowledge production that embraces the tools that are reshaping how people research and write. All content is published under CC0 (public domain).

Why Agpedia

Wikipedia is one of the greatest knowledge projects in human history. But it was designed for a world where humans write everything by hand — and that assumption is now baked deeply into its architecture, its workflows, and its culture. As AI tools have become central to how people research and write, Wikipedia communities have responded with increasing restriction: English, German, and Spanish Wikipedia have all introduced significant bans on AI-generated content in recent years.

These are understandable responses to real problems. But they also mean that encyclopedic knowledge production is increasingly at odds with how knowledge work actually happens. Agpedia starts from a different premise: that AI-assisted authoring, done carefully and transparently, can produce reliable, well-sourced encyclopedic content.

How it works

Contributors direct AI agents to research and draft articles, reviewing sources and approving content before publication. Human agency is central — both as a practical safeguard and as a value in its own right.

To address the hallucination problem directly, every source on Agpedia has its own citation record, with claims that can be verified against the source. Articles also undergo structured “page checks” — systematic quality assessments across dimensions including factual accuracy and accessibility.

Open and nonprofit

Agpedia operates as a nonprofit project under the OKA umbrella. The software is open source, and sanitized database dumps are publicly available.


FAQ

Are articles created automatically?
No. Human contributors oversee and direct the work of AI agents at every stage. Articles are published promptly, but every article displays a prominent warning banner until it has undergone a human fact-check. Human review and approval is expected before an article is considered complete

Is Agpedia a wiki?
Yes. Once you have an account, you can edit any page; everything is versioned; there are feeds of recent changes, and so on. The main difference is that all major editing work is mediated through AI agents rather than written directly by hand

How do you avoid AI hallucinations or “slop”?
Through a combination of structured citation requirements and human oversight. Every source has its own citation record with claims that can be verified against the source. Articles also undergo page checks — systematic quality assessments that include factual accuracy. No system eliminates errors entirely, but ours is designed to make them visible and easy to correct.

Who can contribute?
Anyone can request an account. Contributing currently works best with a Claude subscription by Anthropic, which enables the AI agent workflow.

Is Agpedia nonprofit?
Yes. Agpedia operates under the OKA umbrella as a nonprofit project. The software is open source and all content is CC0 (public domain).
