Introducing the Widget

Han Wang
Co-founder

At Mintlify, we're always thinking about how we can make developers' lives easier. To us, nothing is more impactful than equipping builders with the information they need.

Which is why we're excited to introduce our latest feature: the Widget - an extension of your docs built to instantly answer your users' questions when and where they need it.

Why did we build it?

Good documentation is important, but we've realized it's just one part of the solution. The real challenge is getting answers fast. Developers often spend too much time searching through pages or looking for specific information.

Since we launched AI chat within the product a year ago, we've noticed usage explode as the models improved and the answers become more accurate.

It has fundamentally changed the way people interact with documentation.

With this in mind, we decided to bring the functionality directly to the users.

What is the Widget?

The Widget allows you to embed AI chat functionality, trained directly from the content of your existing documentation.

By adding a few lines of code, you can add the AI-powered chatbot to any web page. You can put it on your landing page, inside your product, or even on your existing documentation pages. It gives instant, relevant answers to your users' questions.

It's fully customizable to your brand and preferences, and built for your team to reduce support tickets and keep users satisfied and engaged.

Get started

Want to answer your users' questions faster? The Widget is available to all customers on the Growth Plan or above. You can try it out with just a few lines of code.
