Introducing autopilot, the next step towards self-updating docs
SUMMARY

Mintlify autopilot keeps your documentation accurate by monitoring your codebase, detecting user-facing changes, and proposing updates the moment you ship. It surfaces needed edits to your team and generates context aware drafts so you can publish high quality docs faster.

Your team, your customers, and the AI agents of the world all depend on accurate, accessible knowledge.

Modern teams ship faster than documentation can keep up, and AI now depends on that documentation as much as humans do. Mintlify autopilot closes that gap with a self-updating documentation engine grounded in your codebase.

First, select repositories for autopilot to monitor and proactively identify documentation updates. Then, you’ll be able to:

1. Detect code changes that require documentation updates

Whenever you ship, no matter how big or small, autopilot reviews the changed files and identifies what is user-facing and what needs to be updated and reflected in your docs.

2. Surface the updates

In the autopilot dashboard, you’ll see exactly which PRs introduced changes that may require documentation. This means no more guessing, no more hunting information, no more asking your teammates “who knows how this works?”

3. Generate documentation drafts

With full context of your codebase and your existing documentation structure and tone, the Mintlify agent creates a draft that you can iterate on, refine, and generate a PR.

It keeps a human in the loop while automating your workflow, so you can stay ahead and publish docs as quickly as you ship products.
