Mintlify

Mintlify is a documentation platform that transforms markdown files into polished, interactive websites. It works by connecting to your code repository and automatically building documentation sites whenever you make changes. The platform includes an AI assistant that helps write content, suggests improvements, and answers user questions directly in the docs.

Unlike traditional documentation tools that require coding knowledge and complex setup, Mintlify provides ready-to-use components and templates. You get features like API playgrounds, search functionality, and mobile-responsive designs without extra work. The platform also includes analytics so you can see which pages users visit most and where they struggle. There is a free plan for individuals and paid plans for teams that need collaboration features and advanced AI capabilities.

Using Mintlify is simple and quick. Follow these steps to create your documentation:

• Sign up at mintlify.com and connect your GitHub or GitLab repository where your documentation will live.

• Install the Mintlify CLI tool on your computer to preview changes locally before publishing them online.
