Slite
Team documentation software with an AI assistant that answers questions from your own docs instead of making people search through them.
What you'd use it for
Giving a growing team one place to ask whether an answer already exists somewhere in their docs, and getting a cited answer instead of a list of search results.
- Ask a question in plain English and get an answer with the source doc cited, not a list of links to search through
- Have documents flagged as stale on a schedule and routed to a named owner to confirm or fix
- Search and cross-reference Slack threads, Linear issues, Jira tickets and Google Drive files alongside your own docs, not just what's written inside Slite
- Get a drafted correction when a doc contradicts what a connected tool actually says, for a human to approve before it's published
- Read or write docs from another tool over MCP or the API
The verdict
Slite earns its place once a team's documentation has grown past what keyword search can handle, and the doc-verification workflow is the rare feature that actually keeps stale pages from piling up instead of just promising to. The catch is the entry-level Basic plan, where Ask AI only searches documents written inside Slite, since the cross-tool search that makes Slite genuinely different from a plain wiki is Pro-only, at double the price. It suits a team that already writes things down and wants that effort to stay findable, not a team hoping the AI will do the writing for them.
What it costs

What you need to start
- An email address to start the 14-day trial, no credit card needed
- A Pro subscription for cross-tool search across Slack, Linear, GitHub, Google Drive and other connected tools
- An Enterprise subscription for SAML-based SSO and SCIM provisioning
A workspace is running in minutes with just an email address; the 14-day no-credit-card trial is where you find out whether Ask AI and the verification workflow actually change how your team searches, once real docs are in it.
Your first run Creating a workspace and writing or importing your first docs takes minutes and Ask AI will answer from whatever's there right away, but the doc-verification workflow and cross-tool search only prove themselves once real content and connections are in place, so expect most of the value to show up over the 14-day trial rather than on day one.
Where it breaks
Browser-based, with desktop and mobile apps for reading and quick edits; async by design, aimed at remote teams rather than real-time co-editing.

When not to use it
Not for a team still deciding whether to document anything at all, since Slite rewards a team that already writes rather than creating the habit for one that doesn't. Also a weak fit if you need answers pulled from Slack, Jira or Drive from day one and can't justify Pro at $20/user/month, since that's exactly the search Basic withholds.
The problem Slite is built to solve isn’t writing docs — most teams can already do that in Notion or Google Docs. It’s that once a team has a hundred documents, nobody remembers which one has the answer, and searching by keyword rarely surfaces the right paragraph. Slite’s AI assistant answers questions directly, citing the source doc, rather than handing back a list of search results to sift through.
Pro’s connected-tools search is the feature that changes what Slite actually is: instead of only answering from documents written inside Slite, it can pull context from Slack threads, Jira tickets, or a Google Drive file, so the knowledge base effectively spans wherever your team already works rather than requiring everything to be re-written inside one app. That’s a meaningfully different bet than Confluence, which stays inside its own walls. Basic’s Ask AI is also metered — 30 questions per seat a month — where Pro’s is unlimited, which matters for a team that leans on it daily rather than occasionally.
The doc-verification workflow is worth calling out specifically — it flags documents as stale and asks an owner to confirm they’re still accurate, which is the unglamorous feature that actually keeps a knowledge base trustworthy over time rather than accumulating outdated pages nobody prunes. Fact-checking on Pro extends that idea, catching claims in a doc that contradict what’s in a connected source.
Pricing sits below Notion’s AI add-on cost per seat once you’re paying for the assistant either way, and the entry point (Basic, $10/user/month) is reasonable for a team just getting serious about documentation discipline. Enterprise is where the security checklist items — SCIM, audit logs, an SLA — show up, relevant once IT is signing off on the tool rather than a team lead.
