Learning labs

Learn kapi by running it

Every lab is a short session in a sample company's repository, run by the real kapi engine in your browser. Press play and the first chapter runs; each Next runs the following one, with a line on what it shows. Type your own commands at any point, and share a link to the chapter you are on.

  • Nothing to install and nothing leaves your machine: the engine downloads once, about 20 MB, when you press play.
  • Read the series in order. Each lab is a few minutes; all of them together are about an hour. (115 min)
  • The projects are the samples the documentation and the recordings use, so what you see here is what you get on your own machine.
Series 1

Start here: your writing

A company repository in one language: operator documentation, interface strings and a marketing page. Read the project's context in, ask what applies to a file, run the checks like tests, record a decision, and edit a block through the engine. No second language, no server, no credential. Northsea: Northsea Maritime Systems sells software to port and fleet operators: Compass, the berth plan, and Tidewatch, the alerting service. One repository, one language, three surfaces.

Series 2

Add languages

The same content with three languages added. Watch kapi up recycle what the project established and draft the rest, read where every language stands, approve a batch of translations as a change set, and see the manifest a deployed page's language picker follows. Compass: The Compass interface, shipped in English at four North Sea terminals, with operators who read Norwegian, German and Dutch, and a page whose language picker reads what the loop ships.

Series 3

The context engine

One lab that draws the context graph above the terminal: the content and the point it sits at, the voice and terms in force there, the content memory and the record of decisions. Read the context in, converge, review, and watch what each command adds. Compass: The Compass interface, shipped in English at four North Sea terminals, with operators who read Norwegian, German and Dutch, and a page whose language picker reads what the loop ships.

Series 4

The content engine

A storefront's catalog and prose, through the engine's own verbs: inspect the model behind any format, run tools and flows with every prompt in the open, then set up a project that remembers its memory and terms and holds a draft to them. KapiMart: A storefront and order platform for small retailers: an interface catalog, an About page, three locales at different stages, its terms and a content memory.

Series 5

Explore the engine

The engine explorers, played as labs or opened as playgrounds: the flow workspace, the segmentation comparison, format conversion, document structure from a PDF, vision, audio and video, the bundle format, and a free terminal. A chapter sets what the explorer shows and says what to look at; a playground opens the explorer and leaves it to you. Every explorer takes your own files too. Engine explorers: The engine's own fixtures: a few documents in several formats, three PDFs, images with printed and handwritten text, a short clip, and a content bundle. Every explorer takes a file you bring as well.
