# Kyoto, days 1–3

We land in Kyoto on the 12th and have three full days before Osaka. The bamboo grove at Arashiyama is best at **dawn**.

Click the copy icon. The whole doc lands on your clipboard as raw Markdown, ready for the AI.

What it actually does.

The pieces of copy for ai that matter, in plain English.

ONE-CLICK

Copy icon in the toolbar.

Whatever doc you have open, the copy icon (right next to the mode toggle) puts the full Markdown source on your clipboard. The button flashes to a checkmark so you know it worked. ⌘C on a selection does the same for partial copies.

CLEAN

Pure Markdown, no HTML, no styling.

What lands on your clipboard is what's on disk — CommonMark + GFM. Headings as `# `, lists as `- `, links as `[…](…)`. No `<div>`s, no styling spans, no decorative HTML. Paste it directly into Claude, ChatGPT, anywhere that reads text.

TOKENS

Way fewer tokens than the source.

A messy webpage paste might be 4,000 tokens of HTML and CSS. The clean Markdown version is often 600–800. Same content, signal-only — the AI processes faster, costs less, and doesn't get distracted by markup.

ROUND-TRIP

Paste in, edit, copy out.

Drop in research from a website (paste from web). Tighten the structure with the editor + AI Author. Copy back out as Markdown. Paste into your next AI prompt. The whole loop is built around this rhythm.

Who uses it for what.

Real situations this solves.

AI power user

"I want to give Claude a tidy version of an article I just read, not the whole webpage HTML."

Paste the article into sweetdocs (it lands as clean Markdown). Edit out the bits you don't need. Click Copy. Paste into Claude. Half the tokens, twice the focus.

Researcher

"I'm building a research brief from several sources to send to ChatGPT for synthesis."

Paste each source, clean each, combine into one doc. Copy the whole thing as Markdown. ChatGPT gets a structured brief, not seven webpage dumps.

Developer

"I want to share my project's README with Claude as context."

Open the README in sweetdocs, hit copy. The raw Markdown lands on your clipboard, ready to paste into the chat. Code blocks keep their language labels.

Writer

"I want the AI to edit a draft I've been working on."

Click copy, paste your draft into the AI, ask for the edit. The AI gets your structure intact (no Word-style cruft), and its reply pastes back in cleanly too.

Questions worth asking.

The things people ask before they try it.

What exactly gets copied?

The full document as raw Markdown. The title prepends as an H1 unless your doc already starts with one. Everything else is the body content in CommonMark + GFM (tables, strike-through, task lists, fenced code blocks with language).

Does ⌘C on a selection work too?

Yes. Highlight a paragraph, hit ⌘C. Just that paragraph lands on your clipboard, in Markdown. Useful for sending one section to the AI rather than the whole doc.

How is this different from Export → Markdown?

Export downloads a .md file to your Downloads folder. Copy puts the same text on your clipboard. Same content, different delivery. Copy is faster when you're just going to paste it into another window.

Will images come through on copy?

As Markdown image references (`![alt](url)`) — the image URL is the link to where it's stored on your sweetdocs account. The AI gets the link, not the image bytes. If you want the actual image data, use Export to a .docx or PDF.

Why send Markdown to the AI vs the original webpage?

Tokens. A webpage HTML paste might be 3–4× the token count of the cleaned Markdown version. AI quality also goes up when the input is structured (real headings, lists) rather than soup. And it costs less.

Can I copy a specific Markdown variant (GFM-only, etc.)?

Output is CommonMark with GFM extensions. No flag to switch between flavours; the output is universal Markdown that pastes cleanly into any AI tool or any other Markdown editor.

Writing

A fast, calm place to write.

The editor doesn't get in the way. Headings, bullets, links, quotes. They just work. No toolbar circus, no setup. It looks like a real document while you write it.
