Move Past a Beautifully Edited Wiki, With DigitalAPI's Complete Self-Serve Developer Journey!
Teams running GitBook today pay for the wiki and either pay engineers to build the developer portal or buy a second SaaS for it.
DigitalAPI builds on top of that foundation with self-serve sign-up, app and credential provisioning, sandbox access, RBAC, partner onboarding, usage analytics, gateway integrations, and a native MCP layer for AI agents.

What happens to our existing GitBook workflow?
We are using "Gitbook" today. Do we have to migrate?
Can we keep our git-sync workflow?
Does DigitalAPI include AI search like GitBook?
Can the same platform support internal, partner, and public developers?
How does pricing compare to GitBook plus a custom developer portal?
Can DigitalAPI expose APIs to AI agents?
How long does implementation take?
