Kapa.ai is built for the questions SaaS and developer tool users ask most: how to install, configure and fix the product. It indexes public docs, websites, GitHub, YouTube and forums, plus private sources such as Confluence, Notion, Zendesk, Salesforce and Drive on paid plans, and answers with citations while flagging questions it cannot answer. Pre-built agents cover a docs widget, an in-product assistant, a support form that suggests answers before submission, and bots for Slack, Discord and Zendesk. Teams building their own in-app agent can use the retrieval API or the hosted MCP server instead. The 14-day trial needs no card and includes 5,000 pages crawled and 1,000 answers, which is enough to test on real docs. The drawback for buyers is cost visibility: Growth is usage-based with a platform fee and committed answers, and the page asks you to request pricing. Customer stories on the site include monday.com, n8n and ClickHouse.
