Open in Chat

The "Open in Chat" feature enables users to seamlessly transfer documentation context to their preferred AI assistant. With a single click, users can open the current page in external AI chat platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, v0, Cursor, and more.

How It Works

On every documentation page, users will find an "Open in chat" button in the table of contents sidebar. When clicked, a menu appears with options to open the page in various AI platforms:

1. User clicks "Open in chat"
2. A dropdown menu shows available platforms
3. User selects their preferred AI assistant
4. The platform opens with a pre-filled prompt containing the page URL and context

The prompt automatically includes:

Read this page, I want to ask questions about it. [URL]

This allows the AI assistant to fetch and understand the page content before answering user questions.

Supported Platforms

The feature integrates with multiple popular AI platforms:

Code & Development Tools

• Cursor - AI-powered code editor
• v0 - Vercel's AI interface design tool

General AI Assistants

• ChatGPT - OpenAI's conversational AI
• Claude - Anthropic's AI assistant
• T3 - T3 Stack AI assistant
• Scira - AI-powered documentation assistant

Configuration

The environment variable NEXT_PUBLIC_VERCEL_PROJECT_PRODUCTION_URL must be set, which you can read more about in the Environment Variables section.

User Experience

Desktop Experience

The "Open in chat" button appears in the table of contents sidebar with an external link icon. Clicking it reveals a dropdown menu with all available platforms.

Platform-Specific Behavior

Each platform has its own integration:

• Browser-based platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, v0): Open in a new browser tab with the prompt pre-filled
• Desktop applications (Cursor): Open using a custom URL scheme that launches the application
• Specialized tools (T3, Scira): Open with platform-specific parameters and context
