Documentation Platforms

ReadMe

AI chat layered on your ReadMe knowledge hub

What is ReadMe?

ReadMe is a documentation platform that combines API reference (from OpenAPI specs), guides, changelogs, and recipes into a single branded knowledge hub. It is popular with API-first companies building product portals.

Integration

How Kelu works with ReadMe

Everything you can do once the integration is connected.

API reference + guide indexing

Kelu crawls both your ReadMe guides and your rendered API reference pages, so users can ask questions about endpoints, parameters, and concepts in one conversation.

Changelog awareness

Index your ReadMe changelog so users can ask what changed in the latest release, with answers that cite the exact changelog entry.

Robots.txt-compliant crawler

The Kelu crawler respects ReadMe's robots.txt configuration and only indexes content you have allowed.

Widget on every page

Add the Kelu widget to your ReadMe custom JavaScript so the AI chat launcher appears across your entire knowledge hub.

Setup

How to set it up

Add your ReadMe docs URL to a Kelu knowledge base. Kelu will crawl all guides, API reference pages, and changelog entries.

Configure sync frequency to match your release cadence — weekly is common for active API docs.

Inject the widget script via ReadMe's 'Custom JavaScript' setting to display the AI chat launcher to all visitors.

ReadMe — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting Kelu to ReadMe.

Yes. Kelu crawls your entire ReadMe knowledge hub — guides, rendered API reference pages generated from your OpenAPI spec, changelogs, and recipe pages — so users can ask questions about any part of your documentation in a single conversation.

Yes. Because Kelu indexes your ReadMe API reference pages, users can ask questions like 'What parameters does the POST /users endpoint accept?' and receive AI answers with citations back to the exact reference page.

Use ReadMe's 'Custom JavaScript' setting to inject the Kelu widget script tag. The launcher will then appear on every page of your knowledge hub without requiring changes to the ReadMe project structure.

For actively maintained content, a weekly sync aligns well with most release cadences. You can also trigger a manual sync from the Kelu dashboard immediately after a major release to ensure users always get the latest information.

Yes. Changelog pages are crawled and indexed alongside guides and API references. This means users can ask 'What changed in version 2.1?' and receive a cited answer referencing the exact changelog entry.
