We recently asked an AI assistant (Claude) to build a tool that exports HCL Notes/Domino data to a standalone HTML website. Within minutes, it produced working code: a LotusScript agent to extract documents, a Python script to convert the output to JSON, and a polished HTML generator with navigation, search, and a clean responsive layout.
Over the past few months we've had an interesting shift in the conversations we're having with customers. Alongside the usual questions about archiving sequences, PDF rendering, and SharePoint deployment, a new topic has started coming up with increasing regularity: AI.
If you've ever opened a freshly exported HTML archive and found that cross-database doclinks don't work, you're not alone. It's a common support question we get from teams working through a Domino decommission, and the fix is almost always the same thing.

Most users interacting with Teamstudio Export tend to remain at the surface, where they appreciate its functionality without exploring further. However, for the curious, those eager to uncover the deeper layers, Teamstudio Export offers an intriguing ecosystem to explore.
Teamstudio Export offers versatile search capabilities tailored primarily to two different use cases: searching within Notes application HTML/PDF archives and leveraging Lucene for advanced data selection prior to export. In this article, we will explore both methods, their features, limitations, and how they can be applied to meet your business needs.
We often encounter customers who, despite having active software subscriptions, are still using versions of our tools that are five, seven, or even more years old. This can lead to problems and missed opportunities, particularly when compatibility issues arise—such as those seen with recent HCL Notes 64-bit client releases.
Doclinks have been around as long as Notes/Domino itself, and are an integral part of navigating a Notes application. But what happens to doclinks when you archive or migrate your data to a new format or platform?
Legacy HCL Notes/Domino databases often hold critical files—attachments, embedded images, even outdated OLE objects—buried in aging applications. Manually extracting these is a headache. Teamstudio Export cuts through the chaos, letting you extract your files from targeted select groups of old data notes.
One frequently asked question we receive is: How does Teamstudio Export handle attachments when creating PDF archives? In this post, we’ll walk you through how attachments are managed by default, what options are available, and the limitations you should be aware of when working with embedded files in modern browsers.
Lotus Notes has been around a long time, which means that some of the databases you want to archive may have grown to massive proportions, which can take a long time to process.
