Your docs, AI-readable.

# Dokly docs

> Official documentation of Dokly. Create stunning documentation websites
> without the hefty price. 2-minute setup, AI-ready by default.

## Welcome to Dokly

URL: https://docs.dokly.co
Summary: Beautiful documentation for modern teams. A block editor, a hosted
site, and your custom domain — in minutes.

Dokly is a documentation platform for product teams who care about how their
docs look, how fast they ship, and how easy they are to maintain.

You write in a block editor — slash menu, drag handles, live styled previews
of every component. Dokly handles the site, the search, the styling, the
custom domain, and the boring infrastructure. You get a docs site that looks
like Mintlify or GitBook, but without the per-seat pricing or the config-file
rabbit hole.

## What's in here

  Create your first project, write a page, and publish to a live URL in under
  five minutes.

  Slash menu, AI actions, drag-and-drop blocks.

  Callouts, Tabs, Steps, Cards, API Playground — everything you need to make
  docs scannable.

  Import an OpenAPI spec and get an interactive playground for every endpoint.

## Built for the way teams actually work

  No CLI, no local preview, no syntax to memorize. Open the editor, hit `/`
  to insert a block, and type.

  Free projects get `yourname.dokly.co`. Pro plans get a custom domain like
  `docs.yourcompany.com` with HTTPS handled for you.

  Edit a page, hit Save, the live site reflects it within seconds. No CI, no
  preview deploys, no build queue.

## Get Started

URL: https://docs.dokly.co/get-started
Summary: Pages under Get Started.

### Introduction

URL: https://docs.dokly.co/get-started/introduction
Summary: What Dokly is, what it isn't, and who it's built for.

Dokly is a hosted documentation platform. You sign up, you create a project,
you get a live docs site at a URL you control. You write pages in a visual
block editor — no syntax to learn, no files to manage.

## What Dokly does

- Hosts your docs site. Every project ships at `.dokly.co` the moment you
  create it. Pro plans add custom domains.
- Gives you a real editor. A block editor with a slash menu, drag handles
  for reordering, and inline AI actions. Not a Markdown text box.
- Ships components that look good by default.
- Handles search, SEO, dark mode, and `llms.txt` — automatically.
- Imports OpenAPI specs and renders a full interactive API reference.

What you don't have to deal with

Image and video hosting
Drag and drop. We host, optimize, and CDN it.
Setting up Algolia for search
Search built in. Just type.
Custom domain SSL and DNS
Add your domain. SSL automatic, forever.
Theme customization in CSS
Six themes. One click.
Framework breaking changes
We update. Your docs keep working.
Deploying and maintaining a site
We host. You write.

Same quality. 1/6th the price.

Why pay more for the same docs?

Mintlify, GitBook, and Archbee are great. If you have a team and a budget, use them.

If you're a solo founder or small team and $60–300/month for docs feels absurd — hi. We built Dokly for you.

About Dokly

Dokly is a multi-tenant documentation platform. Teams publish public-facing documentation, API references, knowledge bases, and help centers on a subdomain like yourproject.dokly.co or a custom domain. Pages are written in a WYSIWYG editor with slash commands, AI inline edits, and full MDX components — callouts, tabs, steps, code groups, accordions. Every published site is server-side rendered, ships with a machine-readable llms.txt manifest, and is indexed by ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Perplexity. Pricing is flat: Free $0, Starter $19, Pro $49, Scale $99 — no per-seat surprises. A simpler, founder-led alternative to Mintlify and GitBook.
