Where your data lands.

The export outcomes.

The AI converts your wiki data into these formats.

MARKDOWN

Clean text files

The AI pulls page content and converts it to Markdown. This is useful for moving documentation into a code editor or a different knowledge base.

PDF

Printable documents

Your agent turns wiki pages or books into PDFs. Use this when you need a static version of your documentation to share.

HTML

Web-ready files

The AI exports content as HTML files. This lets you host your wiki data on a different web server or view it locally in a browser.

HUMAN

Manual saving

The AI performs the conversion, but you must manually save the files to your computer. You decide which files to keep after the agent finishes.
