Forwarding to a larger audience — kapa.ai <http://kapa.ai/> has offered to sponsor an “Ask AI” feature on the https docs site, and I wanted to get the opinion of the larger community. I don’t yet know what’s involved in integrating this, if we were to do it. But you can see it in action on a number of our sister-project websites, as mentioned in the forwarded message.
I’m happy to have a call with them next week and report back on details, or someone else can take this if they want to. —Rich, on behalf of the docs folks. > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Anton Malling <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [Bug 62227] No way to comment on docs > Date: March 16, 2026 at 2:09:09 PM GMT+1 > To: [email protected] > Reply-To: <[email protected]> > > Hi team, > > Following this thread, wanted to jump in from kapa.ai <http://kapa.ai/> 👋 > > The core problem you're describing (removing the comments section = losing > user feedback on whether the docs are working) is something we help solve for > other Apache projects. > > We work with the ASF through a formal partnership that lets us donate kapa > free of charge to Apache projects.
