Help
Give the document a job.
Start with its purpose. Decide what each section needs to contain, then choose how an agent can help. Nothing runs until you start it.
-
Step 1
Define the purpose
Describe the outcome and who will use it. “Compare three suppliers so our operations team can choose one within budget” gives the agent a useful brief.
Create a blank document or choose a template. Templates include section criteria and fictional previews. Copying those examples is optional.
-
Step 2
Review the proposed structure
A signed-in owner can generate a complete draft from the title and purpose. Review the sections, criteria, permissions, and budget before saving it. Missing facts stay as placeholders.
Or build it yourself: select a section in the outline, set its purpose, add concrete criteria, and choose its content format. Criteria should make quality observable: “Each supplier has a total annual cost and a named source.”

Step 3
Choose how each section is maintained
Maintenance modes Manual You edit the section. The built-in agent does not maintain it or check its inputs. Review first The agent provides criteria feedback and proposes edits for you to accept or dismiss. Automatic The agent can update the section’s content. Changes to structure, criteria, instructions, and permissions still need your review. -
Step 4
Start when you are ready
Save the purpose and section rules. Check the monthly and per-run budgets, then choose Start agent. Creating a document or saving a generated draft keeps maintenance paused.
You can pause ongoing work or request a single review. Feedback and proposed edits appear together in the agent feed.
Editing and sharing
The private document link lets its holder edit. Use a read-only share link for readers, and revoke it when access should end. Fictional sample content stays labeled in the reader and exports.
Signed-in documents have an owner who controls the built-in agent and pays for its work. Documents created by email can be edited by people or outside agents and have no built-in agent.
Use your own agent or the HTTP API
GET /help with Accept: text/markdown returns creation instructions. A private document’s /help endpoint includes its current section keys, criteria, and supported operations.
curl -H 'accept: text/markdown' https://dawka.ai/helpDirect edits through a private document link are immediate and free. Only the signed-in owner can start the built-in agent or accept its proposals.
