What teams are saying

Build time: 45 min to 2s

“Saedesk cut our documentation build time from 45 minutes to under 2 seconds. The AI search reduced our support tickets significantly. Our developer relations team can now ship docs updates as fast as they ship code.”

HoDR
Head of Developer Relations
Series B SaaS company
400 pages migrated in 2 days

“We migrated 400+ pages from our old wiki in a single weekend. The MDX workflow feels natural to engineers, the themes look great out of the box, and pull request previews mean our whole team can review docs changes before they go live.”

Found critical content gaps

“The analytics dashboard gave us visibility we never had before. We discovered that our most-visited page had a broken code example — something we had missed for months. The insights alone justified the switch.”

Platform Features

Everything your documentation needs, nothing it doesn't

Saedesk ships with dozens of features across writing, design, search, analytics, and developer experience — all included in every plan. No plugins to install, no third-party integrations to configure. Every feature is built to work together seamlessly.

Instant Git-Powered Deploys

Every push to your GitHub repository triggers an automatic build. Your documentation compiles, optimizes images, generates a search index, and deploys to the global CDN — all in under two seconds. No CI/CD configuration required.

AI-Powered Search

Let readers ask questions in natural language. Saedesk indexes every page, heading, and code block to surface precise answers instantly. Supports follow-up questions, code snippet extraction, and automatic context from related pages.

How do I configure webhooks?
AI Answer: Navigate to Settings and then Webhooks. Click "Add Endpoint," enter your URL, and select the events you want to subscribe to. See the Webhooks guide for payload formats and retry logic.

Professionally Designed Themes

How It Works

From MDX to production in four steps

Saedesk is designed around a docs-as-code workflow that developers already know and love. Write documentation alongside your source code, review it through pull requests, and deploy it automatically on every merge. No CMS logins, no manual publishing steps, no context switching.

01

Write in MDX

Author documentation in MDX — markdown with full React component support. Use 25+ built-in components like Callouts, Steps, CodeBlocks, Tabs, and API reference panels directly in your content. No imports needed, everything is globally available.

MDX gives you the expressiveness of React inside the simplicity of Markdown. Write prose naturally, then drop in interactive components when you need them. Saedesk handles syntax highlighting for 100+ languages, automatic table of contents generation, and cross-page linking.

02

Push to GitHub

Every push to your configured branch triggers an automatic build pipeline. Saedesk compiles your MDX, optimizes images, generates a search index, runs broken-link detection, and deploys the result to the global CDN.

Pull request previews are generated automatically so your team can review documentation changes before they go live. Branch-based environments let you test in isolation. Build logs are streamed in real time to your dashboard.

03

Deploy globally

Your documentation site is live on a global edge network spanning 300+ locations. Fast time-to-first-byte regardless of reader location. Automatic SSL, HTTP/3, Brotli compression, and image optimization are included.

Custom domains connect in minutes with automatic certificate provisioning. Atomic deployments ensure zero-downtime updates. Instant rollbacks let you revert to any previous build with a single click.

04

Enhance with AI

Once deployed, Saedesk automatically indexes every page, heading, code block, and table to power AI search. Readers can ask natural-language questions and get precise, context-aware answers with source citations.

The AI search supports follow-up questions, understands code examples, and can extract relevant snippets from across your documentation. It learns from your content structure and improves over time. LLM-ready output makes your docs discoverable by AI assistants.

Why Saedesk

The documentation platform built for modern teams

Legacy documentation tools force you to choose between ease-of-use and developer control. DIY static site generators give you flexibility but demand constant maintenance. Saedesk gives you the best of both worlds — a polished platform with a true docs-as-code workflow, zero infrastructure to manage, and AI-powered features your readers will love.
