What GitBook is
A documentation platform built for teams that maintain docs over years. It combines an editor non-technical people can use with Git sync and versioning, so docs-as-code teams and writers can work in the same place.
AI adds search, an assistant that answers from the docs, and gap detection.
What you can do with it
- Write and publish product and API documentation
- Run a help centre
- Keep internal SOPs and knowledge bases
- Sync content with Git
- Let AI search and answer from your docs
- Embed an assistant in your site or product
- Find gaps and stale pages
Who it is for
- Technical writers and documentation teams
- Development and product teams
- Customer support teams
- SaaS companies publishing developer docs
What to watch out for
- AI answers reflect your documentation, so gaps become wrong answers
- Decide what internal material is exposed through an embedded assistant
- Git sync needs someone who understands the workflow
- Public docs mean public commitments: review before publishing
