The intelligent documentation platform that keeps itself up to date
Write in Markdown or MDX in your own repository. Mintlify handles hosting, search and navigation, but your files and Git history stay yours if you ever leave.
Every site can expose an MCP server, llms.txt and agent optimizations so AI clients and assistants find, read and cite your documentation accurately.
The Assistant answers reader questions with citations from your docs, while Autopilot continuously drafts updates when it detects that content has drifted from reality.
Generate a full API reference from an OpenAPI specification with a built-in playground, plus version and language navigation for multiple releases and translations.
The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
Industry standard collaborative whiteboarding with massive template libraries, but less streamlined for rapid AI diagram generation.
