FOR DEVELOPER TOOLS

Docs AI for devtools companies

Turn your documentation into an AI-powered assistant. Developers get accurate answers without leaving your docs. Your Discord support load drops. Activation improves.

Built for the developer experience stack

Every feature is designed around how developers actually consume documentation

Docs-native AI Chat

Ship an AI chat widget that lives inside your documentation. Developers stay in context instead of switching to Google or StackOverflow.

SDK & CLI Reference Indexing

BeforeQuery indexes API references, method signatures, and code examples. Developers get answers like 'how do I use useQuery with suspense' — not just page links.

GitHub Repo Integration

Index your README, changelog, and docs/ folder directly from GitHub. Every push to main triggers an automatic re-index.

Discord Bot

Your community already asks questions in Discord. Deploy a BeforeQuery bot that answers in your #support and #general channels with full citation links.

Docusaurus & Mintlify Ready

One-click setup for the most popular devtools documentation platforms. The widget inherits your docs theme automatically.

Changelog Awareness

Include your changelog in the index so developers get version-specific answers. BeforeQuery tells users when an API changed between versions.

From zero to AI docs in an afternoon

Watch the gaps close

Analytics show which questions your docs fail to answer. Fill the gaps, watch activation improve.

Devtools teams love BeforeQuery

We embedded the widget in our Mintlify site on a Monday. By Thursday our Discord #help-questions volume had dropped 40%. Our team cannot believe how fast it worked.

David Park
Head of Developer Experience, Neon

The analytics dashboard showed us that 30% of our Discord questions were about a single undocumented feature. We wrote one page. Repeated questions dropped to zero.

Frequently asked questions

Will BeforeQuery understand our SDK's method signatures?

Yes. BeforeQuery extracts code blocks from your docs with their surrounding context, so it understands that client.query() takes specific parameters and what they do. Developers get accurate, code-level answers.

Can we use BeforeQuery inside our dashboard, not just docs?

Yes. The React component and JS SDK can be embedded anywhere — your dashboard, your in-app onboarding flow, or a custom support portal. The Chat API is available for any server-side use case.

How does the Discord bot handle questions about older SDK versions?

If you include versioned changelogs in your index, BeforeQuery is version-aware. You can also configure the bot to prepend version context to responses.

Can we prevent the bot from answering questions outside our docs scope?

Yes. Configure a collection boundary so the bot only retrieves from your indexed sources. Out-of-scope questions fall back to a customizable message pointing users to your support channel.

Do you support self-hosted or on-premise deployments for enterprise devtools companies?

Yes. Enterprise customers can run BeforeQuery in their own cloud environment (AWS, GCP, Azure). Contact us to discuss your infrastructure requirements.
