About GitBook
GitBook is a hosted platform for documentation and internal knowledge bases. It pairs a writing editor with tools that help you find content that has fallen out of date.
What it does
Teams write and publish docs in a web editor, then share them on a site that can use their own domain. GitBook can also sync with a Git repository, so changes go through branches and reviews the same way code does. Newer features look at how readers, including AI assistants, use the docs. They flag pages that no longer match the product and show where people get stuck.
Key features
- Edit docs in a web-based editor
- Sync content with a Git repository
- Review changes before they go live
- Flag stale pages for a second look
- Answer reader questions with an AI assistant
Who it's for
GitBook fits product, support and developer relations teams that need one place for public docs and internal knowledge. It is useful when non-engineers also write content and engineers want the same review workflow they use for code.
Pricing and good to know
The homepage offers a start for free option, and larger organizations are directed to talk to sales. Check the current plans for limits on seats, pages and custom domains, and confirm which features each plan includes before you commit. Because it is a hosted service, your documentation is served through GitBook's platform.
