Download Docs Chat

Docs Chat is a Chrome extension. Open the side panel on any docs page, ask an AI agent about what you're reading, then switch to Edit mode and it proposes changes straight back to the page's GitHub source - you review the diff and Apply. No API key needed.

Docs Chat — v0.53.0

Chrome / Edge / Brave · MV3 · 108 KB · zip

Download .zip

Pre-release build for early testers while the Chrome Web Store listing is in review. Install it by hand with the steps below — it takes about two minutes.

Install it in Chrome

  1. Unzip the download. You'll get a folder named glassdocs-v0.53.0 (or similar). Keep it somewhere permanent — Chrome loads the extension from this folder, so if you delete or move it, the extension stops working.
  2. Open the extensions page. Go to chrome://extensions (paste it into the address bar and press Enter).
  3. Turn on Developer mode. Toggle the Developer mode switch in the top-right corner.
  4. Load the folder. Click Load unpacked (top-left) and select the unzipped folder. "Docs Chat" appears in your extensions list.
  5. Pin it. Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin Docs Chat so it's one click away.
Edge, Brave, and other Chromium browsers

Same steps — the extensions page is edge://extensions on Edge and brave://extensions on Brave. Developer mode + Load unpacked works identically. Firefox and Safari are not supported by this build.

Use it

  1. Open a docs page. Docs Chat works on a documentation site that opts in with a single meta tag in its HTML: 
    <meta name="source-repo" content="owner/repo">
    Sites built with Glassdocs templates emit it automatically. Not sure if a page has it? Open the panel — it tells you which repo it detected, or that it found none.
  2. Open the side panel. Click the Docs Chat toolbar icon. The panel opens beside the page.
  3. Sign in with GitHub. This is your identity — every edit you Apply is attributed to your own GitHub account. Nothing is shared with other testers.
  4. Ask, then edit. Ask questions about the page in Ask mode. Switch to Edit mode and the agent proposes a concrete change to the page's source; review the diff and Apply to open a pull request (or push a commit, if you choose that mode).
No API key required

The default Managed backend runs the AI for you — just sign in with GitHub and go. Each user gets their own free usage allowance. Prefer your own key? The options page also supports Claude, OpenAI, and GitHub Models.

Coming soon: one-click install

Once the Chrome Web Store listing clears review, you'll be able to install Docs Chat with a single click and get automatic updates. This manual build exists so early testers don't have to wait for that queue. Check back here — the store button will land on this page.
