Kipwise

Real-time collaborative editor

Teammates edit the same page at once and see each other's changes. Pages take embeds from Google Drive, Confluence, Figma, Trello, Airtable and video services.

Slack search and capture

Slash commands and Slack actions search, share and save knowledge without leaving Slack, and people can sign in with their Slack account.

Chrome and Safari extensions

The extensions search the wiki from any web app, by typing a query or highlighting text on a page, and also return results from connected Google Drive and Confluence.

Reviews, must-reads and Q&A

Reviewers and review intervals are assigned to pages or collections, mandatory reads alert people to new content, and unanswered searches can be assigned to a teammate as a question.

Ask AI and auto-answering

The Branded plan adds Ask AI, AI auto-suggestions and a bot that detects questions in up to 3 Slack channels and suggests answers from the knowledge base.

Kipwise Agent

A separately priced AI agent that is mentioned in a Slack thread, acts with the asking person's permissions, cites the page or record it read and sends messages only on request.

Slite

Collaborative editor

A real-time editor with comments, mentions, custom templates, recurring scheduled docs and doc history. Docs can be exported as PDF, Markdown or HTML.

Doc verification and ownership

Each doc can have an owner and a verification status, and the Knowledge Management Panel lets admins review and act on many docs at once.

Ask: AI search and answers

Answers questions with cited sources. Basic searches Slite docs with 30 questions per member a month; Pro and Enterprise search connected tools with 100 per member.

Slite Agent

On Pro and Enterprise, an agent watches connected tools, drafts updates to out-of-date docs and routes them to a person for approval. It draws on pooled credits, 50 per seat a month.

MCP and public API

Every plan includes a public API and an MCP server, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can search, read and edit docs under the user's permissions.

Public docs

Docs can be shared publicly on every plan, with AI answers for readers. Search-engine indexing, custom branding and a custom domain for public docs start on Pro.
