Mintlify
Documentation platform and knowledge infrastructure for AI agents
Mintlify is profiled here as a DevOps tool for engineering teams. Read about features, pricing, and how it compares to related options in the tools directory.
Description
Short Intro: Mintlify is a developer documentation platform built by Han Wang and Hahnbee Lee, who founded the company after selling their previous startup Pe•ple to Tribe in 2021 and went through Y Combinator's W22 batch. The San Francisco company raised $67 million across four rounds, reaching a $500 million valuation at its April 2026 Series B co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Salesforce Ventures. Over 50% of reads across Mintlify-hosted documentation now come from AI coding agents rather than human developers, driving the company's pivot toward positioning documentation as knowledge infrastructure for agentic workflows.
Key Capabilities:
AI documentation generation that pulls directly from codebases and maintains content as code changes
AI Writer that drafts and updates documentation as engineers ship new features
Assistant by Mintlify, a conversational agentic assistant embedded directly in documentation sites

RAG-enhanced search and chat powered by the Trieve retrieval infrastructure acquired in July 2025
