Slite

Slite is an AI-powered knowledge base and team documentation platform. Founded in 2017 by Christophe Pasquier and Thibaud Elziere, it serves over 200,000 companies worldwide. It directly solves the problem of information silos, where key knowledge gets scattered across tools and is hard to find.

Features

• AI Assistant (Ask): Lets users query the entire knowledge base in plain language. Answers include cited sources and work across connected tools like Slack, Jira, and GitHub.
• Doc Verification System: Admins can mark documents as verified or outdated. Teams get notifications before docs expire, ensuring information stays accurate and trusted.
• Rich Document Editor: Supports embeds, sketches, Mermaid diagrams, videos, and tables. The editor handles 5,000-word documents and exports content to PDF with full diagram support.
• Channels and Collections: Organizes docs into team-based channels. Users can filter, sort, and save custom views for faster access to relevant content.
• Import and Integrations: Migrates content from Notion, Confluence, and HTML files—supporting 1,000+ documents at once. Also connects with Slack, Zapier, and offers a flexible API for custom workflows.

Use Cases

• For Remote Teams: Centralizes async documentation so distributed employees access verified, up-to-date information without sending repetitive questions to colleagues.
• For HR and People Ops Teams: Stores onboarding guides, handbooks, and policy docs in one place, making new employee ramp-up faster and more consistent.
• For Growing Startups: Scales knowledge management from small teams to 700+ employees without losing structure, using channels, permissions, and doc tracking features.
• For Enterprise IT and Compliance Teams: Supports SSO via Okta, Google Workspace, and Azure AD. Offers GDPR compliance, HIPAA BAA options, audit logs, and automated backups.

Slite is a focused knowledge base tool built for teams that need fast, AI-assisted access to internal documentation. It performs well for async and remote work but has fewer integrations than some all-in-one competitors like Notion.
