## Description

Canary is an open-source search and AI-powered assistant for technical documentation websites. It enables searching and asking AI questions across web documentation, GitHub issues, and discussions. The project provides UI components that work with local search indexes like Pagefind or Minisearch, or can connect to a self-hosted cloud backend using Canary Core with PostgreSQL and Typesense. It supports multiple static site generators through official integrations including Docusaurus, VitePress, Astro, Starlight, and Nextra.
