Four things people confuse Mari for.

A wiki remembers what was typed. Search finds what exists. Mari keeps track of who owns it, whether it was checked, and whether the source moved on.

Mari vs. a wiki

A wiki gives your docs a home. Anyone can open a page and write what they know.

It stores whatever someone typed, with no source behind it and no idea when it went stale. A wiki can't tell you where a page's claims came from, or whether they still hold.

with mariMari reads the tools you already use and captures each fact with its source, its owner, and its verification state as it enters. A system of record for what your team knows, not another place to paste it.

Mari vs. enterprise search

Search indexes everything it can reach and ranks it by relevance. Ask a question, get ten links.

Search finds content. It can't keep track of it. It tells you where a fact lives, not who owns it, whether anyone checked it, or whether the source has changed since.

with mariMari keeps the record: source, owner, approval, freshness, and a flag when the source moves. One is retrieval, company-wide. The other is accountability.

Mari vs. a chatbot over your docs

Point a model at your docs and it answers questions in full sentences, instantly, for anyone who asks.

It answers from whatever it retrieved, with the same confidence for the canonical page and the one that's two releases stale. Nobody owns the answer, and nothing tells you when the source moves.

with mariMari answers with citations, marks the answers a person approved, and flags the ones whose source has changed. The chatbot gets a record to answer from instead of a pile.

Mari vs. a managed knowledge SaaS

A hosted knowledge product connects your tools, indexes what it finds, and runs it all in the vendor's cloud. Nothing to operate.

Your product knowledge, and the credentials that reach it, live wherever the vendor lives, on the vendor's terms. Procurement gets one shape to say yes or no to.

with mariMari is open source, Apache 2.0, and comes in three shapes: run it yourself, bring your own cloud where we run it inside your VPC, or hosted where we operate it and your team signs in. Same product, same enterprise features. You pick where the knowledge lives.

The three shapes side by side: pricing has what each one includes, and security has where the data lives under each.
