Promptless tries to check its generated docs against other sources to identify errors, but there are also some very cool documentation testing tools that we might integrate in the near future!


Happy to clarify! There are two main ways people are using the Slack integration: (1) You click the Promptless Slack message action (video below) on a thread that might warrant a doc update—Slack Connect channels are an extremely common use-case for this, and (2) You tag @Promptless in a DM or a channel with a brief instruction—people sometimes use this for simple requests, but after signing up for Promptless, you can also send Promptless a link to an old PR, and it'll use the Github API to read the content of the PR and draft an update.

Here's a video we made a month or so ago that shows how (1) works, hope that helps! https://www.tella.tv/video/cm5x8uj9f001d0al11vyxcnsc/view


Thank you!


Yeah, even with lots of full-time resources, companies' documentation regularly fall out of date. It's particularly ubiquitous in AI just because of how fast the general space is changing.


Thank you!


We're still seeing new customers use Promptless in new ways (hence pricing can be a bit bespoke sometimes).

But for our standard use-case, the number of docs pages (crude proxy for documentation surface area) ends up being the primary metric separating pricing tiers. We're in the process of standardizing a startup tier that probably fits most docs sites that are ~100 pages or fewer and <20 employees.


Totally. My cofounder and I are very excited about this idea.

Sort of a primitive version of this, but one Promptless user is using it to update in-app tutorials for various integrations they have, in addition to public docs. The tutorials in this case are just text, but there's a path from having that context to actually having an in-app agent that provides a product walkthrough tailored for the logged-in user's unique use-case.


Yes, Promptless already has the ability to be triggered from Slack channels (e.g. Slack Connect support channels with customers). Discord likely coming later this week or early next week!

Happy to get you set up on either!


Yeah, this is very valid. We opened up a self-service trial this week so that people can more easily give it a spin before deciding to join a paid plan, but we're still working on a lot of the customer experience things to offer a truly complete onboarding experience. Appreciate the feedback!


Forgot to post: link to try Promptless out right now is https://gopromptless.ai/hn


Exactly. I think lots of people tend to underestimate how much documentation is out there. When I started working on Promptless, I assumed it was dominated by things like API docs and other developer docs. Turns out that's just a small fraction of software docs in general (they call them 'help centers' or 'knowledge bases' in this audience). And software docs in general is a fraction of docs that are published for other industries.
