We’ve been testing this feature internally, and it’s been night and day on making improvements to our docs.

Excited to launch this today!

P.S. have you seen our new docs?

Introducing GitBook Agent: your AI teammate for writing, reviewing, and maintaining world-class documentation, now available in beta.

[Addison @addisonschultz]

These numbers are crazy when you actually think about it 👀

[GitBook @GitBookIO]

Agent traffic is still on the rise — and it just crossed a new threshold.

AI agents now account for 51.8% of intentional reads across GitBook-hosted docs. Up from less than 10% in January 2025.

For the first time, they outnumber humans.

Added a few more locations 🗼

[Addison @addisonschultz]

I've been falling down a rabbit hole of Tokyo neighborhood names — 三軒茶屋 means "three teahouses," 目黒 means "black eye."

I quickly made an app to explore Tokyo neighborhoods and their kanji to understand their meaning.

More context in our own docs: https://t.co/UiNkjvsm3t

We’re experimenting with better instructions for agents in your @GitBookIO docs 🤖

Now live on all sites with GitBook Assistant enabled!

I’m seeing the same story over and over when it comes to docs: Most teams don't know what their docs are actually doing.

We just shipped AI insights at @GitBookIO: a bird's-eye view of how your users are getting answers from GitBook Assistant.

[Addison @addisonschultz]

This is part of a bigger picture: docs that don't just sit there, but actively surface what needs to improve.

We're shipping more soon on closing that loop, making it easier to act on what you learn.

Check it out in our launch from last week: https://t.co/cTjhVXBYPh

[Addison @addisonschultz]

AI visitors now outnumber human ones on doc sites — and most teams have no idea what they're actually asking.

AI insights shows you the exact questions users ask, where your docs fall short, and what to fix.

I'm hosting a webinar Tuesday to dive in: https://t.co/EqyHf7cRHb

[GitBook @GitBookIO]

AI visitors now outnumber humans on doc sites. Your docs aren't just for developers anymore — they're the context AI draws from to represent your product. We built something to close that loop.

Published a @GitBookIO skill for @openclaw if you enjoy asking your bot to write docs for you from your phone 🤳

[Addison @addisonschultz]

Something I wanted in @GitBookIO for a while: you can now embed an Ask AI input directly in your docs pages — right where users land.

Already dogfooding it in our own guides → https://t.co/ns7leGGUBy

AI now accounts for 41% of docs readers — up from 9% at the start of 2025.

That’s a 500%+ increase in AI readership in one year.

Docs aren’t just read by humans anymore. They’re read for humans, by AI.
