Airweave is an open-source tool designed to transform any application or database into a searchable, agent-friendly knowledge base. It syncs data from third-party services like Notion and Salesforce, processes it into structured knowledge, and enables semantic search via MCP or REST APIs.
You Should Know:
1. Setting Up Airweave Locally
Clone the GitHub repository and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/airweave/airweave.git cd airweave pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Configuring Data Sources
Modify `config.yaml` to include your apps/databases:
sources: - type: notion api_key: "your_notion_integration_key" - type: salesforce client_id: "your_sf_client_id" client_secret: "your_sf_secret"
3. Running the Airweave Sync Engine
Start the sync service to pull and index data:
python airweave_sync.py --config config.yaml
4. Querying via MCP/REST API
Use `curl` to test semantic search:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "Find customer onboarding docs", "agent_id": "support_bot"}'
5. Deploying with Docker
Build and run the container:
docker build -t airweave . docker run -p 8000:8000 airweave
6. Advanced: Custom Embeddings
Modify `embeddings_model.py` to use OpenAI or HuggingFace:
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
7. Monitoring & Logs
Check sync status and errors:
journalctl -u airweave -f
What Undercode Say:
Airweave bridges unstructured app data and AI agents, making it invaluable for RAG pipelines. Expect wider adoption in enterprise automation, especially for customer support and internal knowledge management. Future integrations may include real-time web scraping and multi-modal LLM support.
Prediction:
Within a year, Airweave could become a standard middleware for AI-driven workflows, competing with proprietary solutions like Microsoft Fabric.
Expected Output:
- GitHub Repo: Airweave
- API Docs: MCP Protocol Specs
