Getting Started with Mikipage
Mikipage is a wiki that writes itself. You capture notes without worrying about where they belong; AI reads them and builds pages that organize, summarize, and connect them. Share those pages with a group, or with the world.
The whole product is three steps: write, organize, share.
1. Write
Sign in and you land in an empty note, cursor blinking. Start typing.
There's no Create button — the note saves itself a moment after you pause, and appears in the notes list on the left. Write another. Then another. Don't think about titles, folders, categories, or tags; none of that is required, and skipping it is the point.
This is the part you're supposed to do without friction. Capture the thought while you have it.
→ [1] covers editing, markdown, attachments, and the handful of Mikipage-specific bits of syntax.
2. Organize
Once you have a few notes, click Organize and create a page.
A page has a title and instructions written in plain language — "everything I've learned about sourdough, newest first" — and AI finds the relevant notes and writes it. It's a wiki page that maintains itself: add more notes on the topic, refresh, and the page grows.
You'll want a few of these. One note can feed several pages at once, so the same journal entry can appear in a monthly recap, a topic page, and a project timeline without being copied anywhere. That's the advantage of organizing after writing instead of before: you're not choosing one structure, you're getting all of them.
If you're not sure what pages to make, Suggest pages will read your recent notes and propose some.
→ [2] covers instructions, refreshing, pinning notes, and the limits.
3. Share
Create a group and invite someone. Now:
- You can share notes to the group — which makes them readable by members and lets them feed the group's pages. Nobody else can edit your notes, ever.
- The group gets its own pages, which synthesize across everyone's contributions. This is the thing a solo notes app can't do: a page built from what several people independently wrote.
Make the group public and its pages become readable by anyone on the web at a URL you choose. This documentation is published exactly that way.
→ [3] covers public groups, URLs, and setting up a site.
The two things to understand
Your notes are yours; the pages are alive. Notes are human-written, single-owner, and static — AI reads them but never rewrites them. Pages are AI-written and AI-maintained. That line is enforced by the system, which is why you never have to wonder what the AI changed.
Spaces scope what you see. A switcher at the top of the page moves you between your Personal space and each group's space. It changes which notes are listed, which pages exist, and where a new page gets created. Personal is private and can never be shared.
→ [4] is the full vocabulary in one place. Worth five minutes early on.
Two more things to try
Search. The box above your notes does two things: typing filters what's loaded, pressing Enter searches everything you have by meaning — so "car repair" finds "took the Honda to the mechanic". → [5]
Ask. The chat button in the corner answers questions grounded in your own notes, not the web. Open it from a note or a page and it knows about that page.
Bring your own AI
If you already pay for Claude or a similar assistant, connect it to Mikipage and let it do the AI work — refreshing pages, writing summaries, capturing notes mid-conversation — using the subscription you already have. It takes about a minute to set up and costs no Mikipage AI credits.
