Ask HN: Seen any developer docs with a RAG chatbot?
Creating a chatbot with access to a company's documentation, guides, and API reference material seems like an excellent use case for RAG. Developers could ask the chatbot how to build specific solutions with the company's platform and receive a response in the form of a tutorial.
Taking this further: if the developer verifies that the tutorial works, it could be submitted to the company for review. Chatbot-generated tutorials that are verified and reviewed could then be published as guides on the company's documentation site for other developers to find via Google.
I haven't seen any companies that provide such a chatbot. Have you? I've seen kapa.ai in the wild, there are at least a dozen more companies / projects doing the same This is exactly what I was looking for! They feature an "Ask AI" widget in the bottom-right of their own docs site (https://docs.kapa.ai/) and some of their customers are doing the same: https://www.prisma.io/docs | https://docs.mapbox.com/ | https://circleci.com/docs/ | https://fusionauth.io/docs/ kapa has a nice dashboard where you can select what you want to include in the RAG backend (docs, code, forums, discord...). They also do some things with showing you what users are asking, the responses and ratings, and being able to make corrective actions (?) I saw a dev tools company poking around on a video call at one point, don't have access myself That’s cool. I can see them expanding to become the Intercom for Developers.
