Your docs, your frontend, our content engine

Mintlify has introduced a new solution for enterprise teams that allows them to own and customize their documentation frontend while utilizing Mintlify's content engine, AI features, and editor in the background. This approach caters to companies that require more flexibility, such as embedding documentation within a developer console, creating a fully custom UI, or self-hosting the frontend to meet team-specific needs. The open-source starter kit, mintlify-astro-starter, facilitates the integration of Mintlify content into Astro, enabling developers to maintain their content workflow in their GitHub repository while controlling the frontend design. This offering is particularly beneficial for organizations with stringent data residency and hosting control requirements, allowing them to host the frontend on their infrastructure without sacrificing AI functionalities. The service aims to enhance the documentation experience by allowing seamless embedding of docs where developers work, supporting custom components and layouts, and offering a self-hosted solution that retains AI-powered search and chat capabilities.
