What is HelpKit?
HelpKit lets you turn your existing Notion docs into a sleek, professional knowledge base or help center—without writing a single line of code. If you already use Notion for internal docs, why not share that same content with customers in a polished, branded format? HelpKit handles the design, speed, SEO, and hosting so you can focus on creating great content.
With HelpKit, your support articles load up to 100x faster than standard Notion pages, work on your own domain (like support.yourcompany.com), and include powerful tools like full-text search, analytics, and even an AI chatbot. Best of all? You never leave Notion to update or manage your content.
What are the features of HelpKit?
- Notion-Powered Content: Keep writing and editing in Notion—your changes sync automatically to your live help site.
- Custom Domain & Branding: Replace messy Notion URLs with your own branded subdomain and match your company’s look and feel.
