Starting documentation from scratch is rarely the problem. Starting fast is.
Whether you’re documenting a brand new product, drafting release notes, or considering a platform migration, the initial step - turning raw product knowledge into structured, technical documentation - can slow teams down. Not because it’s difficult, but because it’s tedious, repetitive, and time-consuming. Documentation.new is built to change that. This tool generates a v0 version of your documentation in under a minute, using nothing more than a link or a short prompt. The point here isn't perfection. Documentation.new gives you a structured, editable first draft so you can move straight into reviewing, refining, and deploying.
**What It Does#
Documentation.new** is a fast-start tool for technical teams. No configuration, no setup, only input and output.
Here’s how it works:#
- Paste a link to your product, app, or docs site – or write a quick prompt describing what it does.
- Get a draft in seconds - structured into sections like Introduction, Features, Usage, API endpoints (when relevant), and more.
- Edit and deploy - instantly preview and launch it into a live, editable Archbee space.
It’s designed to work with your existing workflow. You can keep iterating inside Archbee, bring in your team for feedback, or use the draft as a temporary base while you design your long-term documentation structure.
Why It Exists#
We’ve heard teams complaining about spending hours structuring their documentation before writing a single sentence. They want something to react to, not a blank workspace. Documentation.new gives you that starting point in seconds, without pulling developers away or forcing your PMs to rewrite feature descriptions for the third time.
The output is structured, technical, and usable immediately. It’s the sort of thing you’d normally spend a couple of hours pulling together - reviewing internal docs, rewriting Slack threads, copying bits from GitHub or Notion. Documentation.new does that heavy lifting, and leaves you with something real to work from.
Use Cases#
- Rolling out a new product and need to document features, setup instructions, or endpoints ahead of release? Use Documentation.new to put a complete outline in place while you’re still finalizing the launch.
- Moving your docs to Archbee and want a preview of how your content could be organized? Enter your current site URL to watch the transformation.
- Working on internal tooling and don’t want to spend time writing docs for something only three people will use? Now you don’t have to. Generate it, tweak a few lines, and you’re done.
Instant, Not Disposable#
TURN STATIC DOCS INTO INSTANT ANSWERS
Build beautiful knowledge portals that are easy to navigate, search and share
The goal isn’t automation for automation’s sake. It’s acceleration. Documentation.new gives you a real, usable starting point, something you can ship, improve, and expand. It saves hours of structural work and lets you focus where it matters: the accuracy, the edge cases, and the details your users actually need. This isn’t “done for you” documentation. It’s done enough to move forward. And sometimes, that’s exactly what’s needed.
Oh, and it’s completely free. Happy drafting!
Frequently Asked Questions
Documentation.new is a free, fast-start AI tool that turns a public link or a short prompt into a structured v0 draft of your product documentation—usually in under a minute.
How it speeds you up:
- Skip the blank page: it auto-builds a sensible outline (Introduction, Features, Setup/Usage, API when relevant, and more).
- Draft in seconds: you get a clear, technical first pass you can review immediately.
- One-click into Archbee: preview the draft, then edit, collaborate, and publish to a live, editable Archbee space.
- Fits your workflow: iterate as you go, invite teammates for feedback, and use it as the seed for new docs, release notes, or migrations.
What it isn't:
- Not a replacement for your expertise—you still verify accuracy, edge cases, and examples.
- Not a one-click 'final docs' generator—it's a strong starting point that helps you move from zero to shipping fast.
Try it free at Documentation.new.
You can start with either of two inputs: a public URL or a short written prompt.
Option 1: A public URL
- Point it to a page like your product site, app page, docs page, or a GitHub README.
- The AI scans that page and pulls out key details to structure your docs.
- Use publicly accessible pages; content behind logins or paywalls can't be analyzed.
- For best results, pick a page that clearly explains what the product does and lists core features.
Option 2: A short prompt
- Include essentials such as what the product does, who it's for, key features, setup/installation, basic usage, configuration, and any API notes (endpoints, auth, example requests/responses) if applicable.
- More context yields a stronger draft.
Mini-prompt template:
Product name: Audience: Overview (what it does): Key features: Install/Setup steps: Basic usage: Configuration (if any): API notes (endpoints, auth, example req/resp): Known limitations/edge cases:After generation, you can refine, expand, and reorganize the draft inside Archbee right away.
No. You can generate and preview a draft without signing in.
To edit, collaborate, or publish, sign in or create an Archbee account—your draft will be ready in your workspace. If you're new to Archbee, you'll get a live, editable space where you can keep iterating and invite teammates. Documentation.new is free to use.
