Minaya documentation
Minaya is an AI chat widget that answers your visitors from content you already have — your docs, FAQ pages, PDFs, or any page on your site. You add the content, customise how the widget looks, and paste one script tag.
What it does
- Answers from your content. Text, PDFs, and crawled pages are chunked, embedded, and searched at question time — so replies come from your material, not from the model's general knowledge.
- Declines when it doesn't know. If retrieval finds nothing relevant, Minaya says so and offers your fallback message rather than guessing.
- Looks like your site. Colours, assistant name, logo, font, position, and raw CSS overrides.
- Can reach your systems. Connect an MCP server and Minaya can call your own tools — order lookups, stock levels, booking availability.

A note on limits
Numbers in these docs — page caps, message limits, timeouts — are the defaults shipped with Minaya. Self-hosted deployments can change most of them through environment variables; those are called out where relevant.
