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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
