Introducing the AI Assist Menu for Instant Documentation Context

· 3 min read

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
      }
    }
  }
}
PropertyTypeDescription
enablebooleanEnables or disables the AI Assist Menu.
toolsobjectMap of AI tools to booleans (true to show, false to hide). Supported keys: chatgpt, claude, perplexity, grok, googleAiStudio. See Validation Rules below for defaults.
showCopyPagebooleanShows the Copy Page option in the menu.
showViewAsMarkdownbooleanShows 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
      }
    }
  }
}
