📚 GPTWiki

GPTWiki automatically turns random internet content into clean, structured Wikipedia-style articles — and uploads them to your MediaWiki site.

It uses OpenAI-compatible LLMs to:

• 🎯 Extract real academic-style topics from raw text (e.g., Random Reddit posts)
• 📝 Write full articles in MediaWiki format (6+ sections, encyclopedic tone)
• 🌐 Upload everything to your wiki via API — 24/7, no human needed

You control the prompts and source. GPTWiki handles the writing, structuring, and publishing.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Collect Data
   Use any text source. The built-in example uses Reddit API to fetch recent CS-related discussions.

2. Generate Title
   LLM turns the noisy input (e.g., a Reddit post) into a real academic-style topic

3. Generate Article
   With your prompt template, GPTWiki creates a long MediaWiki-formatted article with 6+ sections.

4. Auto Categorize
   GPT generates relevant categories (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science) for indexing.

5. Upload
   Articles are uploaded to your MediaWiki instance via API. You can choose to:

   • 🚫 Skip if the page exists
   • 🔄 Force overwrite for updates

🌍 Data Source: Anything Text

Although our example uses Reddit API, you can plug in:

• 🔥 Reddit / Stack Overflow
• 📖 Academic abstracts
• 🌐 RSS feeds, blogs
• 🧠 Internal datasets
• 🛠️ Even a simple .txt file

Just make sure each line is a string-like topic or article seed.

🧬 Inspiration

GPTWiki is inspired by LSJBOT, the bot that created millions of Wikipedia articles using static datasets.

Unlike LSJBOT, GPTWiki demonstrates that modern LLMs + live APIs (e.g. Reddit) can generate structured, high-quality encyclopedia articles — with zero human editing.

It proves that full-scale, autonomous wiki generation is now viable using public data and AI.
