Overview
Katara is an AI-first platform that builds production-ready agentic backends, RAG pipelines, and knowledge-driven assistants with minimal infrastructure effort. It offers a hosted AI backend that auto-provisions vector stores, RAG workflows, memory, observability, and compliance controls directly from a developer’s IDE or uploaded data. Katara emphasizes secure, auditable access to context via its free MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, multi-agent orchestration, multi-RAG capabilities, and data governance. It also surfaces a specialized Discord product that functions as a highly customizable community bot for onboarding, support, and engagement—able to ingest docs, wikis, code repos, and web sources and return source-cited answers.
