An always-on agent that keeps your docs up to date
Autopilot is an always-on docs agent from Mintlify. It watches your code and tools like Slack, drafts doc updates when something changes, and opens a pull request for your team to review. It learns your style from every PR you merge or close.
Hey Product Hunt, Patrick here, Software Engineer at Mintlify 👋
Your team ships faster than your docs can keep up. In our 2026 State of Knowledge Report, only 24% of teams got product changes into their docs the same day, and 22% waited a month or longer.
And the gap is growing. Agents write more of your code every month, and Claude Code and Cursor merge changes faster than any writer can track them.
That gap used to be an annoyance. Today it’s a liability. Your customers read those pages. Increasingly, so do the agents working for them. A stale page means an agent confidently doing the wrong thing.
So we built Autopilot.
What is it? An always-on agent that keeps your docs in sync with what your team ships. It reads your repos and the context around them: Slack, your project tracker, support tickets, feature flags. When something changes, it drafts the update and opens a PR.
A merge changes an API, and it drafts the page. The same support question keeps coming in, and it writes the answer. Someone flags a mismatch in Slack, and it picks up the thread.
Does it publish on its own? No. Every change is a PR. It tags the right reviewers and emails them. Nothing ships until your team merges.
How is this different from automations? Automations made you the planner. You set up each workflow and maintained its prompt. Autopilot flips that. Connect your sources, click Enable, and it decides what needs to change.
How does it learn? Every PR you merge or close is a signal. Autopilot has memory, so it picks up your tone, your voice, and whether your team updates docs every release or the moment something changes. No toggles. No custom prompts. If you want to steer it, just talk to it.
Why now? Agents already write a growing share of the code. Docs were the last part of the loop still waiting on a person to notice something changed. Autopilot is the part that notices.
Autopilot is in beta today on Pro and Enterprise. Next, it learns from the edits reviewers make before merging, and a dashboard will show everything it’s doing for your docs.
