1

Create Your Account

Sign up for free using your email or Google/GitHub account. No credit card required.

2

Choose Your Mode

Select Documentation Q&A for quick answers or Code Generation for building complete applications.

3

Select Frameworks

Pick the frameworks you're working with (React, Next.js, Django, etc.) for targeted responses.

4

Start Asking

Type your question or describe what you want to build. DevDocs AI handles the rest!

Documentation Q&A Mode

Perfect for quick answers, debugging, and learning specific concepts from official documentation.

How to Use

1. Select Frameworks

Choose which frameworks you want to search. You can select multiple (e.g., React + Next.js + TypeScript).

2. Ask Your Question

Type your question naturally, as you would ask a colleague:

Good examples:

  • "How do I use React hooks with TypeScript?"
  • "What's the best way to handle forms in Next.js 14?"
  • "How do I set up middleware in FastAPI?"

3. Review Answer & Sources

Get your answer in seconds with inline citations [1], [2] that link to official docs. Click citations to dive deeper.

Pro Tip

Be specific about your use case. Instead of "How do I use React?", ask "How do I create a controlled form component in React?"

Code Generation Mode

Generate complete, production-ready applications from natural language descriptions.

How to Use

1. Describe Your Project

Be detailed about what you want to build:

Example prompt:

"Build a Next.js 14 app with a todo list. Use TypeScript, Tailwind CSS for styling, and include CRUD operations. Add local storage persistence and a clean UI with dark mode toggle."

2. Review Generated Code

Claude generates all necessary files with proper folder structure, including components, utilities, and configuration.

3. Copy & Run

Each file includes a copy button. Follow the setup instructions to run your new app locally.

What Gets Generated

  • Complete file structure (components, pages, utilities)
  • TypeScript types and interfaces
  • Configuration files (tailwind.config, tsconfig, etc.)
  • Setup and installation instructions
  • Error handling and edge cases
