MaxKB is the open-source enterprise KB + AI Q&A product from FIT2CLOUD (1Panel). The pitch is clear: take scattered enterprise knowledge → vectorize → conversational Q&A as a single product with minimal setup.
Versus FastGPT / Dify#
If you already run 1Panel and want minimal setup, MaxKB is the natural fit. For deeper workflow orchestration and model governance, FastGPT or Dify give you more leverage.
