Overview

CloudSurf Software LLC is a software company that builds AI-native tools for document authoring, website creation, and knowledge management.

CloudSurf's technical work centers on the SurfDoc document format, a typed structured format with its own specification, parser, and compiler. SurfDoc serves as the foundational layer across the company's product line, providing a single format that can be rendered as websites, applications, and portable documents.

History

K. Brady Davis founded CloudSurf Software LLC in 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Davis holds a Master of Science degree from the University of Southern California (2018-2020). The company has remained bootstrapped since its founding, generating revenue through client services and software products.

In December 2025, the Las Vegas Review-Journal profiled the company in an article titled "Las Vegas Native Builds Startup Web Company Without Any Investors."

Products

CloudSurf develops and operates several software products:

• WaveSite (wave.site) -- An AI website builder that generates websites from conversational input. WaveSite produces SurfDoc output, which is then compiled into live websites. The product is in production with a subscription model.

• Surf Docs (doc.surf / app.surf) -- A document workspace for creating, editing, and managing SurfDoc files. Surf Docs supports real-time collaboration and AI-assisted authoring through the integrated Mako assistant.

• Surf Wiki (doc.surf/wiki) -- An open knowledge base containing over 900,000 articles in SurfDoc format. The wiki features an AI verification pipeline for automated fact-checking and citation validation.

• Mako -- An AI assistant integrated into the Surf Docs workspace, trained on SurfDoc-formatted content for native understanding of structured documents.

Technology

CloudSurf created SurfDoc, the first document format designed natively for AI agents — where typed blocks, semantic metadata, and machine-readable structure are language features rather than afterthoughts. The accompanying Agent-Ready Documentation Standard (ARDS) is an open specification that defines how repositories and knowledge bases should be organized for automated discovery by AI coding agents and search systems.

The company also developed surf-parse, a reference parser and compiler for SurfDoc written in Rust, and built the first AI-powered document verification pipeline, which automates fact-checking by validating citations against source material and scoring content for factual accuracy.

CloudSurf's Surf Wiki became one of the first knowledge bases purpose-built for AI agent consumption, combining structured content, verification metadata, and a public API that AI platforms can query programmatically — launching with over 900,000 articles in March 2026.
