What tela is
tela is an agent-native team wiki that uses Atlas to generate cited documentation from Git repositories or Jira projects and refresh it as sources change. Its wiki supports block editing, collaboration, comments, version history, public sharing, backlinks, and Markdown import and export. Search combines keyword matching with vector similarity; AI answers cite source pages and can say when documentation does not cover a question. Agents can connect through a remote MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT, with expiring read-only or read-write keys that can be restricted to one space. Claude and ChatGPT access is limited to the signed-in user's permissions. Atlas lists Git and Jira as source types and requires an LLM endpoint and embedder, included on hosted instances. Tela also includes spreadsheets with formulas and CSV/XLSX import and export, plus presentations exportable to PDF, PPTX or PNG. It can be self-hosted with Docker Compose under AGPL, using the customer's Postgres, disk and AI services. Every new account receives a 30-day Personal trial without requiring a card.
