| ## 🧠 Overview | |
| **WikiSage** is a smart, educational app built for the WikiVerse Hackathon. It allows users to explore **comprehensive information about any topic** by aggregating and organizing resources from across Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Commons, Wikisource, and more — all in one place. | |
| --- | |
| ## 🎯 Problem Statement | |
| Millions of users rely on Wikimedia for learning, but navigating multiple platforms (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, etc.) to gather full information on a single topic is **time-consuming and fragmented**. | |
| There is no unified platform that allows learners to: | |
| - Seamlessly explore all types of Wikimedia content (articles, books, quotes, images, source texts) on **one topic** | |
| - **Access diverse formats of learning content** (definitions, timelines, media, references) | |
| - Interact with this knowledge in a structured, multilingual, and accessible way | |
| --- | |
| ## 💡 Solution | |
| **WikiSage** solves this by: | |
| - Fetching content from multiple Wikimedia public APIs | |
| - Structuring them into an intuitive, topic-based interface | |
| - Providing features like multilingual support, content export, and related topic mapping | |

| ## 🚀 Features | |
| | Feature | Description | | |
| |--------|-------------| | |
| | 🔍 **Smart Topic Search** | User inputs a topic (e.g., "Quantum Physics", "Mahatma Gandhi") | | |
| | 📄 **Knowledge Summary** | Summary and detailed content from Wikipedia | | |
| | 📚 **In-Depth Books** | Structured reading material from Wikibooks | | |
| | 💬 **Famous Quotes** | Related quotes using Wikiquote | | |
| | 📜 **Primary Sources** | Historical documents from Wikisource | | |
| | 🖼️ **Media Gallery** | Relevant images from Commons | | |
| | 🧠 **Linked Topics Map** | Visual exploration of related topics via Wikidata | | |
| | 🌐 **Multilingual Mode** | Pulls topic info in different languages via Wikimedia APIs | | |
| | 📥 **Export Feature** | Download topic summary as PDF or Markdown | | |
| --- | |
| ## 🌐 APIs Used | |
| All APIs are strictly from the list approved in the [WikiVerse Hackathon Guidelines](#): | |
| | API | Purpose | | |
| |-----|---------| | |
