In this episode of Outlier Briefings, the co-founder and CEO of Mintlify Han Wang shares how they are building a new kind of documentation platform—one designed for how developers work today.

Traditional documents were built to be read. Mintlify is building documents to be used.

As AI tools become a core part of the developer workflow, documentation is no longer a static resource sitting off to the side. It’s increasingly where developers ask questions, explore APIs, and get unblocked in real time. That shift demands a fundamentally different approach—one where docs are dynamic, interactive, and deeply integrated into the product experience.

Mintlify is designed from the ground up for this new reality. It combines clean, modern design with AI-powered search and generation, turning documentation into something closer to a collaborative interface than a one-way resource.

The result is faster onboarding, fewer support loops, and a better developer experience overall.

Watch to hear how Mintlify is rethinking documentation—and why the next generation of software companies will treat docs as a core product surface, not an afterthought.
