General

What is Tekton AI?
Tekton AI is an AI-powered platform that combines two professional applications: Dashboard Maker AI for creating data visualizations and interactive dashboards, and DocMan AI for intelligent document editing and generation. Both apps leverage advanced AI to accelerate your workflow.
Who is Tekton AI for?
Tekton AI is designed for data analysts, business professionals, researchers, developers, content creators, and teams who need to create dashboards, reports, and documents efficiently. It suits individuals and enterprises alike.

Dashboard Maker AI

What chart and visualization types are supported?
Dashboard Maker AI supports 16+ container types across multiple visualization libraries:
  • Vega-Lite — Declarative grammar for bar, line, area, scatter, heatmap, and more
  • Vega — Full Vega specification for advanced custom charts
  • D3.js — Complete D3 support for fully custom visualizations
  • Plotly — Interactive charts with 3D, statistical, and scientific plots
  • Observable Plot — Concise, expressive charts for data exploration
  • Mermaid — Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, ER diagrams
  • Mindmap (Markmap) — Interactive mind maps from markdown
  • Text/HTML (KaTeX) — Rich text with math formulas rendered via KaTeX
  • LaTeX (MathJax) — Full LaTeX document rendering with MathJax
  • Function Plot — Mathematical function graphs
  • CSV — Direct CSV data display and auto-visualization
  • Excel — Excel file import with spreadsheet rendering
  • Image — Image containers with captions and overlays
  • PDF — Embedded PDF document viewer
  • Iframe — Embed external web content
  • Table — Sortable, filterable data tables
What data import formats are supported?
You can import data from:
  • CSV files (comma, semicolon, or tab-delimited)
  • Excel files (.xlsx, .xls)
  • JSON data (arrays, objects, nested structures)
  • PDF documents (tables are extracted automatically)
Import via drag-and-drop, the file browser, or paste data directly into the editor.
How does the AI Chat feature work?
The AI Chat panel lets you describe what you want in natural language. For example, type "Create a bar chart of monthly sales" and the AI generates the appropriate visualization code. It understands your dashboard context, so it can modify existing containers, add new ones, or fix issues based on your instructions.
What is AutoMode?
AutoMode lets the AI autonomously build and refine your dashboard. When enabled, the AI iterates on your request — creating containers, adjusting layouts, and fixing errors — without requiring approval for each step. You can set the maximum number of iterations and stop AutoMode at any time.
Can I export my dashboards?
Yes. Dashboards can be exported as:
  • JSON project files (for re-importing later)
  • PNG/SVG images of individual charts
  • PDF reports of the entire dashboard
  • Standalone HTML files for sharing
Can I collaborate with my team on dashboards?
On Professional and Enterprise plans, you can share dashboards with team members. Each user gets their own workspace, and shared dashboards support role-based access (view-only or edit). Real-time collaboration is on our roadmap.

DocMan AI

What templates are available in DocMan AI?
DocMan AI includes templates for:
  • Legal documents (contracts, NDAs, agreements)
  • Business reports and proposals
  • Technical documentation
  • Letters and correspondence
  • Invoices and financial documents
  • Academic papers and research
Templates include smart placeholders that the AI can auto-fill based on your case data.
How does AI editing work in DocMan?
Select text and use the AI assistant to rewrite, expand, summarize, translate, or change tone. You can also use the chat panel to request document-wide changes like "make this more formal" or "add a conclusion section." The AI understands the full document context.
What export formats does DocMan AI support?
Documents can be exported as:
  • PDF (print-ready with styling)
  • HTML (standalone web page)
  • Markdown (.md)
  • Plain text (.txt)
  • DOCX (Microsoft Word format — coming soon)
What types of documents can I create?
Any text-based document: contracts, reports, proposals, manuals, articles, letters, meeting notes, SOPs, and more. DocMan AI combines a rich text editor with AI assistance, so you can write any document type and get intelligent help throughout the process.

Technical

What browsers are supported?
Tekton AI supports all modern browsers: Chrome 90+, Firefox 90+, Safari 15+, and Edge 90+. We recommend using the latest version for the best experience.
Does Tekton AI work on mobile devices?
The landing pages, FAQ, and wiki are fully responsive. The Dashboard Maker and DocMan apps are optimized for desktop and tablet screens (1024px+). Mobile viewing of dashboards works, but editing is best on larger screens. Touch gestures are supported on tablets.
Can I use Tekton AI offline?
The editor interfaces can be used offline for editing existing content. However, AI features require an internet connection to communicate with the AI backend. Dashboard rendering works offline once loaded, as visualization libraries are cached locally.
Where is my data stored?
Your data is stored locally in your browser (localStorage/IndexedDB) and optionally synced to our secure cloud servers. On self-hosted or Enterprise deployments, data stays entirely on your infrastructure. We never share your data with third parties.
Is there an API I can use?
Yes. Tekton AI provides a REST API for programmatic access to AI chat, document transformation, and status endpoints. API access is available on Professional and Enterprise plans. See the API Reference for documentation.

Account & Billing

How do I create an account?
Click "Login" in the navigation, then "Create account." Enter your name, email, password, and choose a plan. You will receive a confirmation email. Your 14-day free trial starts immediately.
How does billing work?
Billing is handled securely through Stripe. You can pay monthly or annually (with a discount). Invoices are generated automatically and available in your account settings. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
Can I cancel my subscription?

How do I manage team members?

Security & Privacy

How is my data encrypted?
All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256. API keys and credentials are hashed and never stored in plain text. Our infrastructure follows industry security best practices.

Our cloud infrastructure is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany) with optional US and Asia-Pacific regions for Enterprise customers. Self-hosted deployments run entirely on your own infrastructure.

Enterprise

Do you offer on-premise deployment?
Yes. Enterprise plans include the option for on-premise or private cloud deployment. Tekton AI can run on your own servers, giving you complete control over data and infrastructure. We provide Docker images and deployment guides.
Do you support SSO (Single Sign-On)?
Yes. Enterprise plans support SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) for SSO integration with providers like Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and others. Contact our sales team for setup assistance.
