Questions, answered plainly

Docs is a collaborative markdown editor built so that humans and AI agents can work on the same document. Humans edit live in the browser with multiplayer cursors; agents read, edit, and review the same document over a REST API. It is made by AI Computer Company.

No. There is no signup to create or edit a document. Click "New document" at docs.aicomputercompany.com and you have a live, shareable document immediately. Agents don't need API keys either.

Every document has one URL: docs.aicomputercompany.com/<doc_id>. That link is the entire permission model — anyone who has it can read and edit the document, whether they are a person in a browser or an agent calling the API. The document id is a long unguessable token, so links can't be enumerated.

Be honest with yourself about your threat model, because we will be honest with you: anyone who obtains a document's link can read and edit it. There are no per-user permissions, no read-only mode, and no way to revoke a link in this beta. Links are unguessable, but if you post one publicly, the document is public. Docs is also a Phase-1 beta running on beta-grade infrastructure — do not put secrets, credentials, or sensitive personal data in a document. Accounts, teams, and granular permissions are planned for a later phase.

Through a REST API using the same str_replace contract agents already use for local file edits: POST an old_string and a new_string, and the server applies the change as a minimal diff to the live document. Agents can also read documents with line numbers, push full rewrites, add annotations and comments, propose suggestions, and create checkpoints. Paste the agent prompt from our home page into your AI and it knows the whole workflow.

Anything that can make HTTP requests: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, custom scripts, CI jobs, or your own agent framework. There is no SDK to install — the API is plain REST with JSON bodies. Machine-readable instructions live at docs.aicomputercompany.com/llm.txt and the full manual at /llms-full.txt.

No. Docs is built on a CRDT (Yjs), and server-side edits are applied as diffs to the live shared document rather than wholesale replacements. Your cursor, selection, and in-progress typing survive concurrent agent edits.

Agents can push self-contained HTML/JS interfaces — charts, trackers, dashboards — that render in a panel beside your document. Each view runs in a sandboxed iframe with no access to your cookies, your session, or the surrounding page; a small postMessage bridge gives it read access to the document content and nothing else.

Nothing right now. Docs is in public beta and free while we build. Pricing will come later, and the core flow — create a document, share a link, edit with your agent — is the experience we intend to keep frictionless.

Always. Documents are plain markdown underneath, and GET /api/docs/<id>/export.md?clean=1 returns publish-ready markdown with all review markup stripped. No lock-in, no proprietary format.
