HelpKit

What is HelpKit?

HelpKit is your go-to tool for quickly building a fantastic knowledge base. You just write your help articles right in Notion, and HelpKit takes care of making them look polished and professional everywhere, on any device. It even lets you connect your own custom domain, has a built-in search that works really well, and plays nicely with other systems you might already use, like Slack or live chat widgets. Plus, it’s designed to be found easily by search engines (SEO-friendly) and you can even lock down certain content if you need to control who sees it.

What’s really cool is that HelpKit is super serious about your privacy. They don’t share or sell your user data to anyone. All your knowledge base content stays safely in your own Notion workspace.

And if you want to take customer support to the next level, there’s HelpKit AI. This add-on feature turns your Notion knowledge base into an AI-powered chatbot. It offers smart insights into how people are using it, lets you customize the look and feel to match your brand, and is often a much more cost-effective way to handle support than traditional methods.

Who created HelpKit?

HelpKit was actually built by an indie software company. The founder, Dominik, launched it on August 2, 2023. This company focuses on making it easier to create knowledge bases using Notion. They offer neat features like AI chatbots and really prioritize keeping customer data private and secure.
