Begin prompting

Ask questions and the agent will search Knot’s documentation to retrieve answers directly in your development environment.Example prompts:
  • “How do I integrate the Knot iOS SDK?”
  • “How can I get the available merchant list for TransactionLink?”
  • “Tell me how to create a session and what do I do after that?”

​
