I have to admit, I have begun to use generative AI tools like Chat GPT quite a bit over the past several months, and it has been tremendously helpful – both in learning and applying new concepts, as well as writing both test and code… So I am excited to see similar chat AI integrated into the documentation at docs.docker.com (I don’t believe it is using ChatGPT, however)! This is a fully trained LLM integrated directly into the documentation site to make searching for help on everything Docker substantially easier and more intuitive.

Or even links to copy the entire response down in Markdown:
That’s it! Happy computing!
