I’ve been working with AWS the last year and a half, and the documentation sucks!!

It’s way too verbose, doesn’t have clear examples (if there are any at all), and even finding the right pages is much easier said than done.

For a while I used GPT-4 to help with AWS but the September 2021 knowledge cut-off became too much of an issue.

It actually got so bad that I built AWS Docs GPT for myself a few weeks ago and a friend told me to publish it — so here I am.

Hopefully this makes it much easier to query, search, and chat with every single item of documentation AWS has ever published.

Also, would love to hear your feedback and comments

Very cool! AWS docs are insanely hard to navigate, and I've been looking for a tool like this for a while. I'm curious how you created this—thinking of doing some similar stuff for my personal projects :)

    I used web scraping -> vector embeddings -> vector DB search here. The chat functionality is built on top of search and AWS pages are used as context for better responses. The hard part was the fact that AWS Documentation is so large so embedding took a while. Also happy to chat and answer any questions you have on your personal projects!

Really great idea. AWS docs are a nightmare to navigate.

    Thanks! Hope this saves you time instead of searching the docs. If you have any feature requests, let me know!

this is great. I feel a chrome extension could extend the functionality and speed to use even more...thinking about building something like that?

  • as4296OP 3 years ago

    I've been in the process of building a chrome extension to do exactly that. I've always wanted to work with browser tools so this is the perfect excuse haha.

looks super useful...would be great if generalized to all documentation (e.g., input url to docs then query)
