Saves us hours of manual docs auditing.
Clean draft proposals.
Great codebase sync.
Never ship stale docs again.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Every article is checked against your codebase and live product, and anything outdated returns as a change you can approve, with the reason attached.
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.
Connects with GitHub, Linear, Slack, Discord and your ticketing tool, and hands conversations to Intercom, Zendesk or Help Scout when needed.
Ferndesk is a help center product built around a simple observation: documentation goes stale the moment a team starts shipping quickly. Instead of relying on someone remembering to update articles, Ferndesk connects to your codebase, your live product and your support inbox, then uses an agent to verify each published claim against what the product actually does today. Anything that no longer holds true comes back as a suggested change with an explanation, and nothing is published until a human approves it.
Alongside the verification agent, Ferndesk ships the full set of tools a modern support team expects: a public help center on your own domain, AI conversations grounded in verified articles, an in-app support widget, OpenAPI reference docs with a try-it playground, private knowledge bases protected by magic links, OIDC or JWT, multilingual routes with a glossary, and analytics covering searches, missed searches and failed answers. When the widget cannot answer, it hands the conversation off to Intercom, Zendesk or Help Scout.
Migration is designed to be low-risk for teams already running another help center. Articles, images and URLs are imported with redirects created, so existing search rankings are preserved, and your existing support and ticketing tools stay exactly where they are. Ferndesk keeps reading tickets from them so the agent keeps seeing what customers are actually asking. Pricing is a free trial followed by paid plans, with enterprise pricing available on request.
Teams that ship weekly use Ferndesk to catch renamed plans, moved buttons and removed features before customers report them.
Founders use the agent to keep a public help center, AI answers and an in-app widget current without dedicated technical writers.
Verified docs power self-service search and AI answers inside the product, reducing repeated tickets and freeing agents for complex cases.
Teams move off Zendesk Guide or HubSpot with URLs preserved and redirects created, so search rankings and inbound links survive.
