what AI can build

Markdown docs + simple spreadsheet with local sync.

Solo docs/sheets are one-shottable; realtime collab and CN account graph are not.

The prompt was editor-reviewed; no completed build is recorded.

questions

Can AI replace Shimo / 石墨文档?

Possibly for a narrower core workflow, but this catalog judgment is not a verified build. Expected gaps include: realtime multiplayer, CN SSO defaults. Validate the prompt against your own acceptance criteria before committing.

How much does Shimo / 石墨文档 cost?

Shimo / 石墨文档 is listed at about $8/month (Team, checked 2026-08-05), or $96 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing Shimo / 石墨文档?

Honestly: realtime multiplayer; CN SSO defaults; mobile apps; template marketplace. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Shimo / 石墨文档?

No mature open-source alternative is listed yet. The prompt is an unverified starting point, not proof that a one-shot replacement will work.
