Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.4
GPA, above 0 of the 86 other docs and wiki tools we grade
Question Base is an AI answer agent for Slack that looks up replies in connected documentation such as Confluence, Google Drive and Notion. It can also save new answers from Slack conversations back into docs. Pricing is published as a two-month proof of concept and annual plans sold through demos.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Question Base, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect Slack and each documentation source, and book a demo to start.
- 1
Best for an answer bot in Slack
Question Base answers questions in Slack from your connected docs in Confluence, Drive and Notion.
- 2
Paid plans start at $5 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $5 per user / month, billed annually (from $6,000 per year).
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Answers in Slack
Detects questions in channels and answers from connected documentation, without needing an @mention.
- 5
Doc connections
Reads Confluence spaces and pages, Google Drive files and Notion pages and databases.
- 6
Saves new knowledge
Summarizes answers and decisions shared in Slack so they can be saved to docs.
- 7
A 1.4 GPA, above 0 of 86
That is against the other docs and wiki tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Question Base you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for an answer bot in Slack
Question Base answers questions in Slack from your connected docs in Confluence, Drive and Notion. But every plan is booked through a demo, with a $1,000 two-month proof of concept and annual plans from $6,000, so one person or a tiny team can't buy it.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Listed at $5 a user a month, but billed annually from $6,000 a year, so one person pays about $500 a month. Against a category middle of $19 that's the dearest tier. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. The cheapest way in is a $1,000 proof of concept for 2 months. |
| Features | C | Answers in Slack, document connections, saving new answers and analytics. The listing shows gaps: HIPAA and AWS deployment are Enterprise+ only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You connect Slack and each documentation source, and book a demo to start. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | It lives inside Slack. Four integrations are named, and no API, desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Question Base is for
- Fits if your team asks the same questions in Slack all day and your docs are already in Confluence, Drive or Notion
- Works for departments that can commit to a yearly plan
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan or a self-serve trial, as there is neither
- Pricey if you are one person or a small team, because Annual Pro starts at $6,000 a year
- Not for you if you don't use Slack, since that is where it works
- Watch out: the proof of concept is a 2-month commitment, and HIPAA and AWS deployment need Enterprise+
Good to know
Good for
- Teams whose questions land in Slack, not in the wiki
- Support, IT and operations teams that want fewer repeat questions
- Companies with existing Confluence, Notion or Drive docs
Worth knowing
- It works inside Slack; the price page shows no self-serve plan or free tier.
- Every plan is booked through a demo or sales, with a $6,000 yearly minimum for Annual Pro.
- The pricing page states the proof of concept is a 2-month commitment.
- HIPAA compliance and AWS deployment are Enterprise+ only.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Question Base you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 86 of the 86 other docs and wiki tools grade higher. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- Wiki: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: SOC 2.
What this rests on. Question Base’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
