HackMD, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your HackMD account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What HackMD is

HackMD is a collaborative Markdown workspace for creating, organizing, and sharing personal and team notes.

You paste in a key from your own HackMD account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside HackMD whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in HackMD.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in HackMD. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own HackMD account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

8 tools it already has

What it can do in HackMD

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in HackMD. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Create NoteCreate a Markdown note in the personal workspace or a specified team workspace. The team branch is documented but was not live-tested because the test account belongs to no teams.
  • Get AccountReturn the HackMD profile for the connected token and the teams visible to it. Use the returned team paths with tools that accept teampath.
  • Get NoteGet a note by ID, including its Markdown content. The personal note route can also retrieve an accessible team note, so no team selector is needed.
  • List FoldersList all folders in the personal workspace, or in one team workspace when teampath is supplied. Use a folder ID as parentfolderid when creating a note. The team route is documented
  • List NotesList all notes in the personal workspace, or in one team workspace when teampath is supplied. HackMD returns the complete collection without pagination; the team route is documente
  • List TrashList soft-deleted notes in the personal workspace. Team trash is intentionally excluded because it requires team-admin permission and could not be live-tested.
  • Move Note to TrashSoft-delete a note by moving it to trash in the personal workspace or an explicitly selected team workspace. This is not permanent deletion. Personal notes can be restored with HAC
  • Restore NotesRestore one or more personal notes from HackMD trash. Returns a per-note success or failure outcome so a partial HTTP 207 result is never reported as an unconditional success.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your HackMD account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own HackMD account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in HackMD is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in HackMD and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about HackMD

Can an AI employee really work inside HackMD?
Yes. It signs in to your own HackMD account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of HackMD?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in HackMD, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my HackMD account?
You paste in a key from your own HackMD account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside HackMD whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in HackMD?
It has 8 ready-made tools in HackMD today, among them Create Note, Get Account and Get Note. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use HackMD and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in HackMD and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in HackMD?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in HackMD is written down with what it did and when.
