Core concepts
AI-native approach
Documentation.AI integrates AI assistance throughout the documentation workflow. The AI can help with content generation, optimization, and maintenance while ensuring the final output serves both human readers and AI agents effectively.
MDX-based content
Content is authored in MDX (Markdown with React components), providing the simplicity of Markdown with the power of interactive components. This approach enables rich, interactive documentation while maintaining content portability.
Component library
The platform includes a comprehensive component library for creating consistent, accessible documentation. Components range from basic text formatting to complex API documentation elements.
Flexible workflows
Documentation.AI supports both web-based and git-based workflows to fit different team preferences:
-
Web-based workflow - Edit content directly in the browser using a structured, block-based editor with real-time collaboration
-
Git-based workflow - Manage content as files in your repository with standard git operations via Code editor
-
Hybrid approach - Combine both workflows as needed for different team members or content types
Deployment flexibility
Documentation can be deployed to Documentation.AI's hosting infrastructure or exported for deployment to custom infrastructure. Custom domains and subpaths are supported for brand consistency.
