About
- GitBook is a documentation platform for creating and publishing product docs that stay accurate for both people and AI agents.
- It pairs a block-based editor and two-way Git Sync (GitHub/GitLab) with AI features like an AI Assistant and GitBook Agent that scan for stale content and flag it for review.
What it helps with
- Product changes cause docs to drift from reality, so users and AI agents get wrong answers.
- Making docs readable by AI agents does not guarantee the content is reliable or useful.
- Teams lack visibility into where human readers and AI agents get stuck in documentation.
- Developers and writers work in separate tools, slowing documentation updates and reviews.
