Hey Product Hunt! I'm Sara, and I'm the CEO of GitBook, a knowledge-sharing platform built for technical teams. This is by far our biggest launch of this year, and I'm super excited to share it with you all! But first, a little bit about how we got here… Ever since we first started GitBook (in 2014!) it’s been our goal to be the best platform for creating and collaborating on amazing documentation. That started with open-source public docs, but recently we’ve been using our experience to improve how teams handle technical information internally, too. And what we’re releasing today is a huge step forward on that path — with new features and deep integrations built specifically to help engineering teams document, improve and discover internal knowledge. Oh, and we’ve also got a pretty cool new brand and UI to go alongside it. We hope you love it as much as we do! Anyway, let’s talk features: 💬 Turn Slack conversations into documentation — The new GitBook Slack bot can take a thread, extract the useful info, and turn it into docs. Plus, it can answer questions using information in your knowledge base — just ask. 🛠️ Create docs while you code — Narrate a quick guide in VS Code and GitBook will combine your actions and voiceover into documentation. This one can answer questions, too — just like our Slack bot. ✂️ Introducing snippets — GitBook AI takes unstructured information from those integrations, extracts the important parts, then creates a snippet — a structured page in your docs that’s easy to read and digest. 💡 Maintain your docs with content insights — Insights now help you identify pages in your knowledge base with contradictory information, or duplicated content. So you can find outdated pages and quickly fix them at scale. ✨ A completely new UI design — We’ve redesigned our entire UI to match our new brand. It’s cleaner, faster, and more modern 💅 These are the headlines, but over the past few weeks we’ve also made a ton of QOL improvements in the app. From better performance, to improved comments, real-time collaboration and more. But all this is just the start. We have a lot of big plans for what comes next. We hope you’ll join us for the ride! For now, I'll just say thanks so much for your support today 🙏 we’d love to hear your feedback, so please drop questions and thoughts below! The team will be hear all day. Enjoy! Sara, Samy, and the whole team at GitBook

@sara_tandowsky1 I was checking the new pages out yesterday, and looks like a giant leap forward!! Just a quick question regarding the slack bot thread, that extracts data to create docs... At the moment we utilize other messaging apps to do this, but the page indexing can take a few minutes to 60 minutes etc, will that be the same via the slack bot also? Or would there be a possibility to 'in the future' to bypass page indexing. As we find the GitBook Lens AI WAY!! much better than just using GPT models.. And to be able to extract doc data and instantly use it in a conversational AI format would be amazing.

@sara_tandowsky1 @flochat Indexation of snippets captured from Slack or VS Code should be much faster to be indexed in AI search (a few seconds max). You can basically type "@gitbook save" in Slack, and then ask a question about it right away. We are working on improvements to index page content faster in AI search :)

Hi! Congrats on renew! Can i integrate GitBook into ours team documentation in Notion? We store public API data there and would like to automate the update process. Or any tips to do this with your platform?

Been using this for a while... Gitbook is a life saver.. Let me tell you the best part of this.. It has a little analytics center which you can use to find what people are looking for in the documentation.. Supervised is used by 12K+ users globally and I was able to find that most people were stuck at the upgrading part because it had much more visits than any other page.. Total life saver for devs.. Love this!
