Mintlify

Knowledge infrastructure platform designed to serve modern AI agents and development teams.

Overview

Mintlify is a knowledge infrastructure platform designed to serve modern AI agents and development teams. It provides self-updating documentation that stays current automatically, enabling agents to access accurate information 24/7 while keeping human teams in control of content governance and access permissions.

The platform combines documentation management with AI-native features including an intelligent assistant, agent integration, and automation workflows. It's built for scale with enterprise-grade reliability, serving 20,000+ companies from startups to enterprises like Anthropic, Coinbase, HubSpot, and AT&T.
