In their own words
Documentation.AI
Documentation.AI combines an AI documentation agent, review workflows, publishing, and AI access for technical documentation. Teams can write in a visual web editor or use Markdown and MDX in Git repositories with pull-request previews. OpenAPI specifications generate API reference pages with request and response examples plus a live playground. Agent and workflow changes arrive as drafts or commits for review instead of publishing automatically. The platform includes an in-document assistant with cited answers, a Reader MCP server, and generated llms.txt. GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Confluence can supply context, while analytics and chat integrations include Google Analytics 4, PostHog, Intercom, and Crisp. Documentation may be public, password-protected, or private with JWT or OAuth 2.0; SAML/OIDC SSO and SCIM are Enterprise features. AI work pauses when credits run out until the next cycle or a top-up, with no overage billing stated. Starter is free; Standard costs $55 a month billed yearly, and Pro costs $159 a month billed yearly.
Typemill
Typemill is a lightweight, self-hosted flat-file CMS for creating product documentation, software manuals, user guides, websites, and eBooks from Markdown. It provides both a WYSIWYG-style editor with drag-and-drop blocks and a raw Markdown editor. Content can be arranged in hierarchical navigation, divided into separate projects, and published in multiple languages. Its eBook plugin can generate PDFs and EPUBs, while the same content can also be published as a website. Typemill stores content in Markdown files and configuration in YAML, without requiring a database. Roles include Administrator, Editor, Author, and Member, and access can be restricted to a whole site or individual pages. Plugins and themes extend it; the Kixote connector works with OpenAI-compatible services and Anthropic’s Claude API, including ChatGPT, Claude, Ollama, and LM Studio. The maker says installation requires Apache or Nginx and PHP 8.1 or higher. Community is free; Maker costs $22 a year, billed 22 € + VAT/Year, for one instance and production domain.
