GitBook

What is GitBook?

GitBook is a documentation platform that helps teams publish, maintain, and monitor technical content for both human readers and AI agents. It connects to source code repositories so documentation can be managed through branching, review, and merging workflows. A free starting option is available, with enterprise features such as SAML SSO and authenticated access offered separately.
