Who benefits:
Developers, product teams, and technical writers building docs for open-source projects or SaaS apps. It's great for onboarding new hires, helping support teams cut repetitive tickets, and giving learners instant code snippets. If you run a tutorial site, Documate can answer "how do I..." questions without you writing a FAQ for every scenario.
Plus, remote teams love the self-serve feel. What sets it apart? Unlike pricey chatbot builders that lock you into proprietary ecosystems, Documate stays open-source-no vendor lock-in, community fixes, and you keep your data on your own servers. It's also lighter than enterprise suites, so even a small hosting plan can run it smoothly.
