## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Affine with AI Copilot on Railway

AFFiNE is an open-source alternative to Notion and Miro that combines documents, whiteboards, and databases in one workspace. This template deploys AFFiNE with optional AI Copilot powered by NVIDIA NIM or Google Gemini for chat, writing assistance, summarization, and code generation.

## About Hosting Affine with AI Copilot

AI Copilot is enabled by simply providing an NVIDIA NIM or Google Gemini API key — the template auto-generates AFFiNE's config.json at startup to route all AI tasks through your chosen provider. No AI key is required for basic functionality.

## Common Use Cases

* Self-hosted knowledge base and wiki with AI-powered writing, summarization, and search
* Collaborative workspace with real-time editing, whiteboards, and databases — fully under your control
* Private AI-assisted document creation using NVIDIA NIM or Google Gemini instead of cloud-hosted alternatives

## Dependencies for Affine with AI Copilot Hosting

* PostgreSQL 16 with pgvector extension (included in template)
* Redis (included in template)
