# The output layer for AI pipelines

SurfaceDocs turns AI-generated content into shareable, hosted documents. One API call, instant URL, zero infrastructure.

```bash theme={null}
pip install surfacedocs
```

```python theme={null}
from surfacedocs import SurfaceDocs, DOCUMENT_SCHEMA, SYSTEM_PROMPT

docs = SurfaceDocs(api_key="sd_live_...")
result = docs.save(llm_output)
print(result.url)  # https://app.surfacedocs.dev/d/abc123
```

## Why SurfaceDocs?

Every AI pipeline ends the same way: the model generates something valuable, and then you need to figure out where to put it.

SurfaceDocs gives you:

* **Instant shareable URLs** — `docs.save(output)` returns a link anyone can view
* **No infrastructure** — No viewers to build, no hosting to manage
* **Built for AI output** — Block-based schema that matches how LLMs think
* **Document versioning** — Push new versions to the same URL, view history, restore old versions
* **Works with any LLM** — OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, or any model
