When a pull request merges, the agent drafts the documentation for the shipped feature before the release goes out.
Public portal on your own domain, AI answers from verified docs, in-app widget, API docs, private docs, translations and analytics in one product.
Import from Intercom, Zendesk, Crisp, Help Scout, HubSpot, GitBook, Document360 and others with articles, images and URLs preserved.
