[WIP] Get started - 30 min

To add a bot to Slack or Discord that answers questions over your documentation:

1. Submit a PR with a single change: a new .json file under documentation-sources with the content you'd like to index. The name of the file must match the Slack workspace ID or Discord server ID you want to add the bot to. For example, T04CTF40G06.json
2. The .json file must be an array of objects with the following schema:

{
    "name": string, // the name of this document e.g. "Step 1: Setup",
    "source": string, // A URL e.g. "https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/tree/main/docs/source/get-started.mdx",
    "content": string, // A single string blob with all the content for this document. Markdown is fine.
    "tag": string, // the name of your product, used as an identifier. Must be unique e.g. "apollo-client"
  }

3. Click here to add the bot: Slack/Discord
4. Ask it something!

Building locally

npm run start will start the web client. However you won't be able to make any requests until the API url and API key are set up in .env. We are trying to make the product more self-serve, but in the meantime please contact us on Discord or reach out to [e-mail] to get the API url and an API key.

Contributing

To add more documentation for existing products or to add new products, submit a PR to add a new .json file with the content you'd like to index. Follow the structure of the files in the documentation-sources directory.
