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.
ReadMe
ReadMe is a documentation platform built around the full customer journey, not just content creation. Teams can sync their OpenAPI spec to auto-generate interactive API docs, publish guides and changelogs in a fully branded hub, and collaborate with branching workflows and bi-directional sync. Built-in AI features like Ask AI and an AI writing assistant help developers get answers faster and improve content quality, while real-time usage insights show how APIs are actually being used.
