What is GitBook?
Team knowledge as AI-ready documentation.
Who is GitBook best for?
GitBook is best for developer teams that publish docs sites and want them synced with Git and answered by AI.
API and developer docs
Git Sync lets engineers branch, review and merge docs like code, and interactive API playgrounds come with every plan.
Help centers that answer questions
On Ultimate, the AI Assistant answers readers from your docs and connected sources, and can be embedded in your own product.
Docs that drift out of date
GitBook Agent looks for pages that no longer match the product and queues the fixes for someone to review.
Companies with security reviews
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance, sign-in protected docs and SAML SSO on Enterprise suit docs that only customers or staff should see.
