Getting Started
Welcome to Dopl
A knowledge base for AI and automation setups. Ingest URLs, get structured documentation, search and compose solutions.
What is Dopl
Dopl is a knowledge base for AI and automation setups. Paste a URL, and Dopl extracts everything: text, images, linked resources, GitHub repos, code. It generates structured documentation (README, agents.md, manifest) and makes the whole thing searchable.
The core loop: ingest a URL, get structured artifacts, search and compose solutions from your collected knowledge. Everything lives on an infinite canvas where you can arrange, group, and connect related setups.
Dopl also connects to Claude Code and other AI tools through an MCP server, so your knowledge base becomes a live resource your AI agent can search, query, and use while coding.
Quick start
Sign in and you land on the canvas. You will see a Connection panel (your API key and setup instructions) and a Browse panel (the knowledge base browser). From here:
- Open a chat panel (click the + button or use the Browse panel's search)
- Paste a URL into the chat. Dopl ingests it and creates an entry panel with the results.
- Repeat with more URLs. Select multiple entry panels and click "Cluster" to group them.
- Export clusters as Claude Code skill files to use them in your workflow.
Key concepts
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Entry | A single piece of ingested knowledge. Has a README, agents.md, manifest, and tags. |
| Panel | A card on the canvas. Can be an entry, chat, browse window, or cluster brain. |
| Cluster | A named group of panels. Has a brain that synthesizes instructions from its members. |
| Cluster brain | AI-generated instructions that combine all agents.md files in a cluster. |
| Memory | A user correction or preference saved to a cluster brain. Persists across sessions. |
| Skill file | A Claude Code skill exported from a cluster. Lives in ~/.claude/skills/. |
| MCP server | The bridge between Dopl and AI tools like Claude Code. |
