AI is the new interface for learning about your product.
Mintlify's new AI Assistant uses agentic retrieval technology to provide more accurate, conversational answers directly within documentation, giving users an AI-native experience rooted in their source of truth. The assistant understands user intent, provides contextual responses with citations, and helps teams maintain control over how their product information is presented in AI interfaces. With the rise of llms.txt and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) , it's clear that LLMs are becoming the default way users discover and understand software.
