Who actually reads developer docs now?
We classified hundreds of millions of reads across docs on Mintlify
over the last 90 days. Claude Code made 40% of them ๐งต
Gotta give praise where it's due.
I love @mintlify ๐. Been using it more or less exclusively with Claude + their MCP for about 6 weeks now and it's been a joy. My engineers can point their agents at it too, speeding up comms between customers and code base.
this one's been a labor of love - customers constantly ask us which agents are reading their docs, how often, what they're doing, and where they're getting stuck
there's no good open source answer for this problem, and nothing i found could reliably tell me who or what was behind a request, so i built it
we've tested the dataset against hundreds of millions of requests to mintlify docs sites and use it to power agent analytics for our customers
if you see an agent or anything we're missing, please open a PR!
We've seen agent traffic on our customers docs sites increase by 29X since the beginning of the year. Now you can measure for a website how much of your traffic is coming from agents.
Introducing agent-traffic: the dataset and classifier we use to tell which agent, crawler or person is behind every request.
Last month, agents made 489M requests to docs hosted on Mintlify. agent-traffic is how we know which ones.
Today we're open-sourcing it for everyone.
Today we're open-sourcing the Gauge CLI.
@gauge_sh helps you make something agents want, for free.
Why are we doing this?
Just a year ago, the capabilities in this CLI could have justified a SaaS fee, and might have even been the core business.
But coding agents have completely changed the game.
More than 85% of the coding sessions that users run on our platform are initiated through the CLI, triggered by their coding agent.
Users just want their agent to solve problems, whether that means building from scratch or picking the best vendor for their problem. We know that the tools they pick are the ones with zero-friction onboarding, and legitimate value up-front.
The bar to sell software has risen, and agents need to try it before users do.
Make something agents want with the Gauge CLI. Get started now for free.
as a product marketer, good docs are part of the product and devex.
had dinner with the @mintlify team last night and got a first look at what they've been shipping.
the teamโs been cooking!
I've been cooking. Easily invite your current agent session to join your doc for live editing.
You can invite the agent and ask it questions directly in the editor.

Five ways to make Mintlify Base work for your team ๐งต
Last week, we launched Base, a workspace for agent-human collaboration. Onboarding docs, support playbooks, and engineering specs: every team at Mintlify runs its work through it. Here's what we've learned:
introducing @tesser_sh (YC W27)
tesser is the simplest way to offload heavy workloads like dev servers and builds to cloud VMs. every worktree gets its own machines, with automatic port forwarding to your laptop
@utsav_ladani@hahnbeelee Yeah, we just launched skills so you can create a skill that includes samples of your content and guidelines for how it should write.
