Docs? Is that like a new ChatGPT feature or something?

It actually kinda is. GPT-4 has an enormous token size so you can upload the whole documentation of a framework or program and ask it specific questions to it

Has it though?

AFAIK it has like 4k tokens which roughly translate to 3k words or something like that.

The API has 8k or even 32k (this model should be interesting for something like that, unfortunately still don't have access to it...)

So the docs have to be rather short, that it gets all the relevant stuff, or am I missing something?

GitHub Copilot just got an update increasing the token to 8k so I think it can be queried to help you with something similar. I haven't had the chance to test it further after the new update.
