Documentation Audit Plan: docs.vell.ai vs. Current Capabilities¶

Audit Date: January 2026 Scope: Compare public documentation (docs.vell.ai) against actual codebase capabilities Documentation Platform: MkDocs Material (mkdocs.yml)

Executive Summary¶

This audit compares what is documented at docs.vell.ai (based on /docs/ folder and mkdocs.yml) against actual implementation in the codebase. The goal is to identify:

Over-documented features - Documented but not implemented or deprecated
Under-documented features - Implemented but not documented
Misaligned documentation - Documentation doesn't accurately reflect implementation
Missing documentation - Critical features without any documentation

Audit Categories¶

Priority Levels¶

P0 - Critical: Public-facing discrepancies that could mislead customers
P1 - High: Features documented differently than implemented
P2 - Medium: Missing documentation for available features
P3 - Low: Internal docs or minor discrepancies

Section 1: Documented Features That May Not Match Implementation¶

1.1 Multi-Cloud Connectors (P0 - CRITICAL)¶

Documentation Claims	Implementation Status	Gap
Azure Marketplace "coming soon Q1 2025"	No Azure integration code found	OUTDATED - It's now 2026
GCP Marketplace "coming soon Q1 2025"	No GCP integration code found	OUTDATED - It's now 2026
`cloud-connectors/azure-setup.md`	Placeholder with Q1 2025 date	Date is stale
`cloud-connectors/gcp-setup.md`	Placeholder with Q1 2025 date	Date is stale

VERIFIED CONTENT: - Both files contain "Coming Soon" banners with Q1 2025 target dates - Both files list planned features and link to waitlist at https://vell.ai/updates - FAQ also mentions these as "coming soon" - Changelog lists Azure/GCP support in "Q1 2025" roadmap section

Action Required: - [x] ~~Read docs/cloud-connectors/azure-setup.md and docs/cloud-connectors/gcp-setup.md~~ (Verified) - [ ] Update dates to remove specific quarters or use "Future" instead - [ ] Consider removing from nav until ready, or clearly mark as roadmap items - [ ] Update changelog roadmap section (Q1 2025, Q2 2025 are now in the past)

VERIFIED: Documentation is comprehensive and matches changelog entries.

Per changelog (2025-12-21): - VideoIntelligenceService implemented for multi-video analysis - VideoIntelligenceController with analyze, history, and report endpoints - video_analyses table created for tracking

Action Required: - [x] ~~Read docs/features/video-intelligence.md~~ (Verified - well documented) - [ ] Verify YouTube API integration exists in codebase (likely present) - [ ] Check if feature is accessible in UI at documented path

1.6 A/B Testing Feature (P2 - MEDIUM)¶

Listed in nav as features/ab-testing.md

Action Required: - [ ] Read docs/features/ab-testing.md - [ ] Verify A/B testing is implemented in the platform - [ ] Check if feature is actively maintained

Section 2: Undocumented Capabilities (Missing from Public Docs)¶

Based on codebase exploration, these features exist but aren't in the public documentation:

2.1 AI Features Not in Docs (P1 - HIGH)¶

Feature	Implementation	Documentation
AI Chat Pro	Full implementation with WebSocket	Not specifically documented
AI Writer with 50+ templates	Extensive template system	Only mentioned generally
AI Realtime Chat	WebSocket-based streaming	Not specifically documented
AI Influencer/Video Composition	Video creation system	Only mentioned in Media Studio
File Chat (PDF)	Chat with PDF documents	Not documented
Data Extraction (Excel/CSV)	Document parsing	Not documented

Action Required: - [ ] Create documentation for AI Chat capabilities - [ ] Document the 50+ AI Writer templates available - [ ] Add File Chat/PDF analysis documentation

2.2 Payment Integrations (P2 - MEDIUM)¶

Codebase supports 17 payment gateways but FAQ only mentions generic payment: - Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paddle, 2Checkout, Iyzico, Paystack, Yokassa, Coingate, CoinBase, RevenueCat, Bank Transfer, and more

Action Required: - [ ] Consider adding payment methods documentation - [ ] Update FAQ with available payment options

2.3 Partner API v1 (P0 - CRITICAL)¶

Full REST API exists at /api/v1/partners/: - Profile management - Listing management with SEO - Co-sell opportunities CRUD - Analytics and webhooks

Action Required: - [ ] Create API reference documentation - [ ] Document webhook system - [ ] Add authentication guide for API consumers

2.4 Chatbot Builder (P2 - MEDIUM)¶

Full chatbot creation system exists: - Custom AI chatbot creation - Training data upload (PDF, CSV, Excel, URL) - Domain validation for multi-domain deployment - Embedding code generation - Analytics

Action Required: - [ ] Create Chatbot Builder documentation - [ ] Document training data formats - [ ] Add embedding/integration guide

Implemented features: - LinkedIn publishing - Twitter/X integration - Social media scheduling - Content calendar

Action Required: - [ ] Document social media features - [ ] Add setup guides for social connections

2.6 Teams & Collaboration (P2 - MEDIUM)¶

Implemented features: - Team creation and management - Member invitations - Role-based permissions

2.7 Advanced AWS Integrations (P1 - HIGH)¶

These AWS services are integrated but not all documented: - AWS CleanRooms (partially documented in Co-Sell) - AWS Marketplace metering/billing - Amazon Polly (TTS) - AWS Step Functions - Cognito authentication

Action Required: - [ ] Expand AWS integration documentation - [ ] Document BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) options more thoroughly

Section 3: Documentation Accuracy Issues¶

3.1 Naming Inconsistencies (P2 - MEDIUM)¶

In Docs	In Codebase	Issue
"Vell"	"Vellocity"	Brand name inconsistency
"vell.ai"	"vell.io" in some places	Domain confusion
"AI Workflows"	Various implementation names	Navigation clarity

Action Required: - [ ] Audit all documentation for brand name consistency - [ ] Standardize on "Vellocity" or "Vell" - [ ] Update all email references to correct domain

The mkdocs.yml nav structure should be verified against actual user interface:

# From mkdocs.yml - verify these paths exist in app:
- AI Workflows → Content Studio
- AI Workflows → Analysis Hub
- AI Workflows → Technical Builder
- AI Workflows → Media Studio
- GTM Campaigns → Marketplace Listings
- Co-Sell → Partner Discovery

Action Required: - [ ] Walk through each documented navigation path - [ ] Verify UI matches documentation paths - [ ] Update documentation to match actual UI

3.3 Feature Status Tags (P3 - LOW)¶

Documentation uses <span class="status-new">NEW</span> for: - Agreement Analyzer - ACE Opportunity Briefs - Co-Sell Platform - Unified AI Workflows

Action Required: - [ ] Review if features are still "new" - [ ] Remove NEW tags from mature features - [ ] Add BETA tags where appropriate

3.4 Changelog Roadmap Dates (P0 - CRITICAL)¶

The changelog.md contains outdated roadmap sections:

"Coming Soon - Q1 2025" (now past): - Azure Marketplace Support - GCP Marketplace Support - Advanced Analytics - Alerts & Notifications - Revenue Tracking

"Coming Soon - Q2 2025" (now past): - Team Collaboration - API Access - Webhooks - Mobile App - Multi-region Support

ISSUE: These dates have passed (it's now January 2026). This creates: 1. Credibility concerns for readers 2. Misleading expectations 3. Questions about development velocity

Action Required: - [ ] Update or remove specific date references - [ ] Move completed features from "Coming Soon" to released sections - [ ] Either update ETAs or use "On Roadmap" without dates - [ ] Consider a "Roadmap" page separate from changelog

Section 4: Missing Documentation Categories¶

4.1 No API Documentation (P0 - CRITICAL)¶

Enterprise customers need API docs. Current state: - FAQ mentions "REST API is available for Enterprise customers" - No public API reference exists - Partner API v1 is fully implemented

4.2 No Admin Guide (P1 - HIGH)¶

Platform has extensive admin capabilities: - AI tools configuration - Branding/theming - Payment gateway setup - Email/SMTP configuration - User management

Recommendation: Create /docs/admin/ section with: - Platform configuration guide - User management - Security settings - Monitoring and logs

4.3 No Migration/Upgrade Guides (P2 - MEDIUM)¶

No documentation for: - Migrating from other platforms - Upgrading between plans - Data export/import procedures
