Introducing the AI Assist Menu for Instant Documentation Context

Developers frequently switch between APIMatic documentation and external AI chat tools to understand APIs — a workflow that required manually copying page content and pasting it each time. This release eliminates that friction entirely.

We've introduced the AI Assist Menu, a one-click dropdown available on every documentation page that sends the current page's content directly to your preferred AI tool as context.

What's Included

AI Chat Tool Integrations

The menu provides direct integrations with the following AI tools:

• Open in ChatGPT — Launches ChatGPT with the current page loaded as context, ready for questions.
• Open in Claude — Opens Claude with the current page pre-loaded for instant assistance.
• Open in Perplexity — Sends the page to Perplexity for AI-powered research and answers.
• Open in Grok — Opens Grok with the current page as context.
• Open in Google AI Studio — Launches Google AI Studio with the documentation page loaded.

Utility Options

• Copy Page — Copies the current page as Markdown, formatted for use in any LLM.
• View as Markdown — Opens the current page in raw Markdown format in the browser.

Configuration

The AI Assist Menu is enabled automatically the next time your portal is published — no explicit configuration is required to get started. To customize which tools appear or to disable the menu entirely, use the aiAssistMenu key under generatePortal.portalSettings in your portal configuration:

{
  "generatePortal": {
    "portalSettings": {
      "aiAssistMenu": {
        "enable": true,
        "tools": {
          "chatgpt": true,
          "claude": true,
          "perplexity": true,
          "grok": true,
          "googleAiStudio": true
        },
        "showCopyPage": true,
        "showViewAsMarkdown": true
      }
    }
  }
}

Property	Type	Description
enable	boolean	Enables or disables the AI Assist Menu.
tools	object	Map of AI tools to booleans (true to show, false to hide). Supported keys: chatgpt, claude, perplexity, grok, googleAiStudio. See Validation Rules below for defaults.
showCopyPage	boolean	Shows the Copy Page option in the menu.
showViewAsMarkdown	boolean	Shows the View as Markdown option in the menu.

Validation Rules

• Empty aiAssistMenu — Setting aiAssistMenu to {} is shorthand for "use all defaults": every option, including every entry in tools, is treated as true.
• tools behavior — Each tool key is shown when set to true, and hidden when set to false. If tools is {} or omitted, every supported tool defaults to true and is shown.

Availability

note

The AI Assist Menu is currently available only in portals generated via the Docs-as-Code workflow.

To disable the AI Assist Menu, add the following to your portal settings:

{
  "generatePortal": {
    "portalSettings": {
      "aiAssistMenu": {
        "enable": false
      }
    }
  }
}
