The tool allows users to edit documents in a browser or terminal, with agents able to pull, edit, and push changes like Git, supporting tasks such as drafting sections and merging parallel work without conflicts.", "body_md": "The Data Company\n\n# Markdown docs for humans and agents.\n\nmdocs is an open-source, real-time Markdown editor. The same document, live in your browser and your terminal. Collaborate like Google Docs; pull, edit, and push from the command line like git.\n\n## See it work\n\n01 · Delegate\n\n### Leave a task in the doc. An agent ships it.\n\nMaya adds a task in the browser. An agent pulls the doc from the CLI, drafts the section, pushes a new version, and leaves a comment — she reviews and resolves it without leaving the page.\n\n02 · Merge\n\n### Two agents, one doc, zero conflicts.\n\nBoth agents pull version 15 and push independently. Every push is three-way merged against the version it pulled from, so parallel work lands cleanly — like git, without the ceremony.\n\n03 · Share\n\n### Share like a doc, not a repo.\n\nOne command invites a teammate by email or mints a live link. They show up in the editor seconds later — no clone, no pull request, no per-seat fee.\n\nOur mission\n\n## Infrastructure for agents.\n\nMost software still assumes a human on both ends. We’re building the layer where people and agents actually work together — starting with the document. mdocs is the first piece.\n\n[More about what we’re building →](/about)\n\n## The Data Company newsletter\n\nOccasional notes on what we’re building.
