Feedback: Gordon AI now available on docs.docker.com

[dvdksn]

Gordon, the AI assistant you know from Docker Desktop and the docker ai CLI, is now available directly on docs.docker.com.

What's available

Gordon on the docs website provides:

• Conversational interface with context from the current documentation page you're viewing
• Ability to follow up on previous questions in a threaded conversation
• Answers based on Docker documentation
• Copy and feedback features for each response

We want your feedback

This replaces our previous Ask AI feature. We'd love to hear:

• How does Gordon compare to the previous Ask AI experience?
• What's working well for you?
• What could be improved?
• Any issues or unexpected behavior?
• Suggestions for new capabilities?

Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!

Welcome

The knowledge base states that "Automated scripting or excessive programmatic access may be subject to additional restrictions" with Gordon, but it does not provide a specific example of what constitutes automated scripting or excessive programmatic access. The documentation only clarifies that Gordon is intended for interactive use cases such as active development, learning, optimizing Docker configurations, and troubleshooting—not for automated or scripted usage patterns.

Therefore, I cannot provide a concrete example from the knowledge base.

pretty much useless the moment you need a little bit extra info, like how to pass extra arguments to opencode cli using docker sandbox? literally the most basic thing but its saying there are no docs and it's unable to infer this from the docker template images, literally useless.

@gund thanks for the feedback - I just noticed this (passing args to opencode in sbx) is a gap in the docs, which is why gordon wouldn't answer. I'll make sure to get this updated.

how about adding a scrollbar to the gordon pane? on EdgeChromium/Windows10 the scrollbar on the right scrolls the page underneath

[dvdksn]

@birbilis it should be scrollable... 🤔

@birbilis it should be scrollable... 🤔

see the scrollbar on the right and the page underneath, it scrolls that one

trying touchpad gesture (two fingers scroll down, guess it works with mousewheel too), I can scroll up/down in the Gordon pane (when it reaches the end though it starts scrolling the page underneath which is a bit annoying - same if I use up/down arrow keys on keyboard). However no scrollbar in that pane to use with the mouse cursor, nor anyother widget to move up/down

Thank you for the add'l details - I'll have a look!
