What is Dokly?
Dokly is a documentation platform for shipping beautiful MDX docs without git. Visual editor, AI writing, auto-generated llms.txt, and custom domains from $29/month. Built as a simpler Archbee alternative — Dokly Business is $199/month vs Archbee Scaling at $350/month.
Teams switching from Archbee to Dokly typically migrate in an afternoon. Pages are written in a WYSIWYG editor with slash commands and AI inline edits, with full MDX components — callouts, tabs, steps, code groups, accordions. Every published site is server-side rendered, ships with a machine-readable llms.txt manifest, and is indexed by ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Perplexity. Pricing is flat: Free $0 · Starter $29/mo · Team $99/mo · Business $199/mo · Enterprise custom — no per-seat fees. Built with Next.js 15 and Supabase, with sub-100ms page loads via static generation and on-demand revalidation. Most teams ship their first docs site in under 10 minutes.
Archbee is a solid all-in-one doc and knowledge-base tool. Good for mid-size teams that want internal wikis and external docs in one place.
Growing starts at $80/month, Scaling jumps to $350/month. If you're a small team that doesn't need versioning or localization, you're paying for the wrong tier.
Why teams pick Dokly over Archbee
Docs that write themselves.
Docs AI agents can actually read.
Start with a paragraph describing your product. Dokly AI scaffolds the whole site. Every page ships with llms.txt so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Cursor can cite you.
Generate a whole doc site from a brief
Describe your product in a paragraph. Dokly drafts the full site structure — quickstart, guides, API reference — as real MDX pages you can edit.
Generate individual pages on demand
Need a new page? Hit 'Generate with AI' in the editor, describe what it should cover, and get a draft in seconds. Edit in place — it's just MDX.
Improve writing in place
Rewrite for clarity, tighten prose, fix tone. Highlight a paragraph and the AI edits exactly that — not the whole page.
llms.txt, auto-generated
Every Dokly site exposes an llms.txt and a read-only MCP endpoint, so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Cursor can parse and cite your docs. No config, no plugin.
Your AI agent writes, you approve
On every plan, connect Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. New pages arrive as drafts, edits to live pages wait for your approval, and each one comes with a git-style diff. Approve in the dashboard or the terminal.
More coming
Semantic linking between pages, AI-drafted changelogs from git diffs, automated translation, and an /llms-full.txt endpoint.
