Mozilla recently announced AI Help, a generative AI-based tool designed to be a new “problem-solving companion” for web developers searching for answers on MDN Web Docs. The site hosts documents about CSS, HTML, JavaScript and other web technologies since 2005, and it has essentially become an authoritative resource with contributions coming from volunteers, big corporations like Microsoft and Google, and of course Mozilla docs as well.
Since 2017, the MDN service also hosts all of Samsung’s web documentation after the Korean company decided to shut down its own documentation projects. Needless to say, when Mozilla decides to bring some big, unexpected addition to MDN, developers can react in unpredictable and passionate ways.
