Open source · MIT · any site

An AI assistant for any site.

A chat widget that answers from your own pages, cites every claim, and keeps your model key off the page — on VitePress, Docusaurus, React, Vue or a single script tag.

Get started Introduction

$ npm i @cloflin/docpilot$ npx docpilot init

Why it exists

Hosted answer services keep your content, your readers' questions and the price. DocPilot keeps none of them: the search index is a static file you build, the search runs in the reader's browser, and the only server is the one already serving your site.

It is built for grounded answers — every claim numbered, every citation checked against what was actually retrieved, and a plain “I couldn’t find this” when your pages don’t say.

Start with the introduction, read why it is safe to ship, or try the pieces below.

A few pieces you can try.

Guide › Rate limits

Each key may send 600 requests a minute. Rate limits reset on a rolling 60-second window. A 429 response carries a Retry-After header.

How do I authenticate requests?

What the reader sees

How do webhooks retry?

Failed deliveries are retried with exponential backoff: 1 min, 5 min, 30 min, then hourly, up to 8 attempts over 24 hours. Each attempt carries the same event id, so a handler must be idempotent…

Can I replay one by hand?

Yes. Open Webhooks → Deliveries, pick the event and press Replay. A replay is a new attempt with the original payload and the same event id, and it does not reset the retry schedule.
