You can either integrate it with external tooling (common use is in a build pipeline for docs), or use the JS API directly: https://github.com/get-alex/alex#api.

Thanks for sharing this!

I've had a quick look and it looks great for identifying where improvements can be made to content in your codebase.

I don't think it's suitable for my use case as the content will be in a database or localStorage, and it seems to only be able to recommend changes rather than dynamically make them. Unless I have misinterpreted things.

When using it as a lib you can pass a markdown string (https://github.com/get-alex/alex#markdownvalue-config) or raw text string (https://github.com/get-alex/alex#textvalue-config). This will return an object that should contain everything you need to perform a naive replacement.
