Help & Manual

Help+Manual is the most popular authoring tool for writing and publishing help and technical documentation in multiple formats. While it is as easy to use like Word, Help+Manual gives you the full power of a true WYSIWYG XML editor. You can focus your energy on writing and immediately get productive! This is combined with powerful features for editing documentation files, including full support for multimedia and complex modular projects.

Pros

    Documentation AI

    Documentation.AI is an AI-native documentation platform for developer docs, API references and help centers. Teams write in a visual editor or in Git, publish a fast, searchable site, and let AI keep it accurate as the product changes. Most docs go stale because updating them is manual work nobody owns. Documentation.AI gives that work to an AI agent. Describe the change, or connect a repo or issue tracker, and the Documentation Agent finds every affected page, drafts the edits, and saves them to a branch for review.
