## What it is
PeterCat is an open-source system for creating intelligent Q&A chatbots for GitHub repositories, with conversational agent configuration, self-hosted deployment, and an all-in-one application SDK. It automatically ingests repository docs and issues as knowledge and integrates via a website chat SDK or a GitHub App that can answer discussions, summarize PRs, review code, and manage issues.

## Use cases
- create a Q&A chatbot for my GitHub repository
- add an AI assistant to my project website
- automatically answer GitHub discussions and issues
- self-host an AI support bot for my open-source community
- summarize pull requests and review code with an AI bot
- build a knowledge base from repo docs and issues for a chatbot

## When to choose
- you maintain an open-source project and want automated community support
- you want a self-hosted Q&A bot grounded in your repository's docs and issues
- you need a chat assistant SDK to embed on your project website
- you want GitHub App integration for issue triage, PR summaries, and code review

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose chatbot not tied to a GitHub repository
- you require enterprise-grade support or SLAs from a vendor
- your project is not hosted on GitHub, since the knowledge pipeline is GitHub-centric
