Picture this: you’re halfway through coding a feature when you hit a wall. Naturally, you turn to the documentation for help. But instead of a quick solution, you’re met with a doc site that feels like it hasn't been updated since the age of dial-up. There’s no search bar and what should’ve taken five minutes ends up burning half your day (or a good hour of going back and forth).
Meanwhile, I’ve tried using LLMs to speed up the process, but even they don’t always have the latest updates. So there I am, shuffling through doc pages like a madman trying to piece together a solution.
After dealing with this mess for way too long, I did what any of us would do—complained about it first, then built something to fix it. That’s how DocTao was born. It scrapes the most up-to-date docs from the source, keeps them all in one place, and has an AI chat feature that helps you interact with the docs more efficiently, provides citations so you can fact-check and integrate what you've found into your code. No more guessing games, no more outdated responses—just the info you need, when you need it.
It’s multilingual, so it can handle any documentation in different languages seamlessly. And it's free to use. If you're concerned about security, I’ve set up a test account you can log into:
Email: test@gmail.com Password: alphatest
It might have some documents uploaded by others, and the onboarding is already done, but it’ll give you a sense of how it works.
The best part? It’s free. You can try it out at demo.doctao.io and see if it makes your life a bit easier. And because I built this for developers like you, I’m looking for feedback. What works? What’s missing? What would make this tool better?
Now, here’s where I need your help. DocTao is live, free, and ready for you to try at demo.doctao.io. I'm not here to just push another tool—I really want your feedback. What's working? What’s frustrating? What feature would you love to see next? Trust me, every opinion counts. You guys are the reason I even built this thing, so it only makes sense that you help shape its future.
Let me know what you think!
