What Mintlify does
Mintlify hosts developer and API documentation and adds AI on both sides: an assistant answers readers' questions from the docs, and an agent drafts and updates pages through pull requests, for software companies that publish technical documentation.
Assistant answers reader questions only from the published docs and API specifications, with source links
Agent writes new content from prompts, pull requests or Slack threads and opens a pull request
MCP server for the documentation, also on the free plan
Mintlify, Inc. is based in San Francisco. Starting price: from $450 per month.
Before you switch: AI features start with the Pro plan, and assistant answers and agent runs consume credits, so estimate reader traffic and credit usage. The privacy policy names AWS and the model providers Anthropic and OpenAI among its service providers and says data may be processed in the United States. A data processing agreement was not found on the website in September 2026. SSO requires Enterprise.
GitBook is a platform for product and developer documentation that syncs with GitHub or GitLab and uses AI to write, review and translate content and to answer readers' questions, from single maintainers to large companies.
