Mintlify
Connect existing content from Mintlify docs, so your AI agent can draw from content wherever to solve problems.
Customers and developers expect answers where they work, not hidden in another tab. The Brainfish + Mintlify integration turns your Mintlify docs into in-product help that answers questions instantly, keeps knowledge synced, and shows where content needs improvement. Brainfish uses your published Mintlify site as the source of truth, then powers context-aware guidance through ambient agents, smart search, and reporting. The result is AI customer service that meets users in the flow, reduces ticket volume, and helps every team ship better, clearer documentation.
