ABOUT US
We’re building documentation for the era of intelligent systems
We're on a mission to redefine how development teams make decisions and centralize knowledge. Rooted in open source, we build with transparency, collaboration and a deep respect for community.











About GitBook
GitBook is reframing the future of documentation
Documentation has been stuck in the past while software development has evolved at breakneck speed. Teams ship faster than ever, but their docs lag behind — becoming outdated, fragmented, and disconnected from the products they're meant to support.
We know there’s a better way.
Knowledge should move as fast as your product. That’s why we’ve reimagined documentation — where humans and AI work together to create, refine, and share what teams know. What started as a simple documentation platform has evolved into an intelligent knowledge layer that connects your team, your tools, and your users.
We don’t think of GitBook as just a tool — it’s a platform for building and maintaining knowledge. Documentation that’s easier to write, smart enough to maintain itself, and powerful enough to become part of your product experience.
Today, we’re used by more than two million people — including teams like Zoom, FedEx, Nvidia, Snyk, and Google. GitBook helps them focus on what they do best: building products that move the world forward, while their documentation evolves alongside them.
We’re not here to write corporate commandments. GitBook isn’t built on slogans or posters — it’s built on the way we work every day: writing things down, questioning assumptions, and shipping improvements that make knowledge easier to trust.
We believe teams do their best work when their thinking is clear, shared, and easy to find. That’s why we focus on simplicity, thoughtful craft, and meaningful transparency. Not as branding — but because they help people make better decisions.
We move fast, but with intention. We ship small, steady improvements. We use AI to amplify good judgment, not replace it. And we care about the details: the structure of a page, the clarity of a sentence, the feedback that unblocks someone else tomorrow.
GitBook is our product, but it’s also our own way of working made visible: a belief that documentation, done right, quietly powers everything a team builds.
