Build your platform with Surf
A workspace for the work behind the work: documents, tasks, wiki research, and Mako AI in one place. Write once, then turn the same source into plans, pages, PDFs, and decisions your team can use.
- Open SurfDocs you own, not another locked workspace silo.
- Mako works inside your docs and tasks with cited answers.
- Surf runs on Surf, from its public wiki to its own roadmap.
Free to start. No credit card. Your data encrypted end-to-end.
How it works
Start with the source material. Let Surf turn it into the operating layer around it.
Write or describe
Start a doc, collect notes, open a task board, or ask Mako a question against your workspace.
Let Surf do the work
Mako drafts, researches with sources, extracts tasks, and keeps the answer connected to the work.
Take it anywhere
Publish a page, export a PDF, or keep the work private. One source, multiple outputs.
Why Surf is different
Surf is built around the document as the source of truth, with tasks, knowledge, and AI attached to the same work.
One open document, many outputs
Your docs are SurfDocs: readable, portable files you own. The same source can become a clean PDF, a live page, or a task plan without copy-paste reformatting.
AI that knows your workspace
Mako answers with citations and works inside your docs and tasks, so the AI has the context before you start explaining.
A free, open wiki for everyone
Search millions of articles with no account required. The same engine becomes the research layer inside your workspace.
Surf is built with Surf.
The claim is literal: the public wiki, product plans, roadmap, and this page all move through Surf and SurfDoc. The product is its own proof system.
If it can run Surf, it can run your platform.
- CloudSurf's knowledge wiki runs on Surf and is open to search.
- Product docs, plans, and roadmap decisions are written in SurfDocs.
- The same format behind this page is the format users write in.
- Every release makes the system better at building the next one.
