Mintlify taps AWS to deliver billions of agent visits with 99.999% uptime, launches enterprise offering in AWS Marketplace.

Mintlify taps AWS to deliver billions of agent visits with 99.999% uptime, launches enterprise offering in AWS Marketplace. Customers can now deploy Mintlify on their existing AWS environments with streamlined procurement and billing, enabling teams to ship docs at the pace of AI Mintlify, the AI-native knowledge platform company powering developer documentation for companies like Anthropic, Microsoft, Spotify, and Coinbase, today announced two milestones in its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS): Mintlify now delivers 99.999% uptime on AWS while serving more than 300 million human visitors and more than 2 billion agent visits in the last year - and Mintlify Enterprise is available in the AI Agents and Tools category of AWS Marketplace, giving enterprises a streamlined path to discover, purchase, and deploy Mintlify with simplified procurement and billing. This launch arrives at the same time as AI agents overtake humans as the primary readers of technical documentation. For the first time on record, more than three quarters of traffic across Mintlify-powered documentation now comes from AI agents, and Mintlify expects that share to reach 90% by the end of 2026. The shift poses a significant knowledge gap for companies that aren't prepared to have every surface of their documentation read, parsed, and acted on by AI agents. "Documentation used to be written only for human developers. Now it's the interface AI agents use to decide whether to recommend, integrate, or build on your product," said Han Wang, co-founder and CEO of Mintlify. "Modern enterprise companies know they need to treat product knowledge as core infrastructure, and they want to buy it the way they buy the rest of their stack, so that their product knowledge stays accurate and discoverable for both agents and humans. AWS Marketplace enables teams to move from evaluation to deployment through a channel they already trust." Mintlify doesn't just transact through AWS Marketplace - it is built on AWS. The same infrastructure that powers billions of agent visits across Mintlify-powered docs runs on AWS, enabling the reliability and scale that enterprise customers demand. Through AWS Marketplace, Mintlify Enterprise customers get SSO, advanced security controls, custom terms, and private offers negotiated directly through AWS. Customers already in conversation with Mintlify can request a private offer and route their purchase through their AWS account. "AI agents are fundamentally changing how software is discovered, evaluated, and adopted - and the companies building for that shift need knowledge infrastructure that can keep pace," said Jason Bennett, VP and Global Head of Startups and Venture Capital at AWS. "Mintlify has built on AWS to reliably serve billions of agent visits with 99.999% uptime, and its availability in AWS Marketplace gives enterprise customers a faster, more streamlined path to deploy agent-ready documentation at scale." Mintlify's growth on AWS has been supported by the partnership between its investor Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and the AWS Startups and Venture Capital team. "The AWS team has built a deep partnership with a16z, not just on technology, but also on helping our portfolio companies go to market," said Jennifer Li, partner at Andreessen Horowitz. Mintlify Enterprise is available now in AWS Marketplace.

Mintlify powers the knowledge layer for more than 20,000 companies, including Anthropic, Microsoft, Coinbase, Spotify, and HubSpot, and reaches over 50 million people a month. Mintlify has raised $67 million to date from backers including Andreessen Horowitz and Salesforce Ventures.

Meet Mintlify Desktop.

Meet Mintlify Desktop. 2 minutes read Justin Torre Engineering Manager Today, Mintlify is introducing Mintlify Desktop, a dedicated app for writing and managing documentation, from the internal knowledge your team relies on to the public docs your customers read. It brings the Mintlify editor to your desktop, with the workflows you already use on the web. Mintlify Desktop is available in beta for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Documentation work rarely happens on one page. You move between internal drafts, runbooks, public projects, and pull requests throughout the day. In a browser full of tabs, finding the right editor page becomes another step in the work. Mintlify Desktop gives your docs a home of their own. Open pages in tabs, arrange them horizontally or vertically, and use separate windows for different work. Your tabs return when you reopen the app, so you can pick up where you left off. Each tab keeps its own session, too. Switch organizations in one tab and the others stay put. You can move between internal and public projects without repeatedly navigating back to the page you need. Your files live on your machine, so a flight or a spotty connection doesn't stop you. Edit offline, and your changes sync when you're back online. Mintlify has also improved collaboration in both Mintlify Desktop and the web editor. When teammates work on the same page at the same time, you now get more visibility into what's happening, whether someone is in the visual editor or in source mode writing Markdown. That makes it easier to work together without stepping on each other's changes. Desktop reuses your saved sessions and keeps caches between launches, so your projects open without a fresh load. It also keeps a tab ready for the site you're working in, so most new tabs open instantly. Mintlify Desktop is still early. Mintlify is refining the interface, sign-in flow, and performance as more people use it.

Introducing Mintlify Index.

Introducing Mintlify Index. 2 minutes read Mintlify Index aggregates the docs of 9000 Mintlify-powered documentation sites into a natural language retrieval layer for coding agents. * Queries that reference docs in the Mintlify-powered ecosystem, which then undergo an internally optimized retrieval process. * All other queries, which are routed to a standard external provider. Developer gives an agent an implementation task | Agent calls search or context | Mintlify Index routes each query | product in Mintlify's hosted corpus | all public Mintlify-powered docs | other query | web search | Index returns ranked sources or token-budgeted context | Agent can call contents to inspect a selected source | Agent uses the evidence to answer or plan the change Each search or context request routes the query to a retrieval source. Queries about products in Mintlify's hosted corpus use eligible public documentation when those docs are likely to answer the request. Other queries route to a leading third party web search tool. If the selected source fails or returns no results, Index will also fall back to the other. An agent can retrieve evidence in two ways. Context returns an assembled, token-budgeted bundle of ranked excerpts and source URLs. For more control, search returns ranked source metadata and optional matching text. The agent can then pass a Mintlify URL or document ID to contents to retrieve the selected page. With a follow-up query and length limit, contents can return the most relevant section. Index supplies the evidence, afterwhich the agent remains responsible for producing and validating the answer or implementation. Mintlify then ran an experiment comparing Mintlify Index with Context7, a popular docs-retrieval service for coding agents. Across 150 implementation-planning tasks on 50 products hosted on Mintlify, a blinded pairwise judge preferred the plans produced with Mintlify Index in 96 tasks, nearly two-thirds. Not only did the Mintlify Index group produce higher-quality results, but they also completed tasks 48% faster end-to-end, with 10% higher factual correctness, 10% better citation support, and 17% fewer critical errors. In pursuit of its mission to optimize the interaction between agents and knowledge, this experiment showed Mintlify the potential benefits of a customized retrieval system only made possible by the ecosystem of Mintlify docs. Mintlify is launching a beta version of Mintlify Index today, free to use for everyone.
