Description

Archbee is a lightweight, flexible docs tool. Build product documentation, internal wikis, knowledge bases, API references, developer guides, changelogs, diagrams — in one app. Archbee helps your team communicate asynchronously. This makes you effective and remote-ready—one of the fastest & smartest editors ever strapped on a documentation tool. If you have a complex product or your users are developers, you need product docs. We make it mega easy to set up branded docs on your domain with all the bells and whistles.

Description

Most content teams are drowning in documents - not because they lack writers, but because their tools weren't built for the scale, complexity, or compliance demands they're actually working under. Author-it was. For over 25 years, Author-it has been the CCMS of choice for organisations where documentation accuracy isn't optional. Manufacturing teams managing hundreds of product variants across 20+ languages. Software companies decoupling their help content from product release cycles. Utilities teams where a procedure gap isn't a typo problem - it's a regulatory one. The core architecture is built around component content: Topics (individual content units), assembled into Books (deliverables), stored in a central Library. Write once, publish everywhere - to HTML5, PDF, Word, SCORM/eLearning, XML, DITA, and AION, Author-it's structured JSON format built specifically for LLM and RAG pipeline consumption. This is the AI Content Foundation angle: your structured content, already tagged, already resolved, already formatted for machine ingestion. Built-in modules cover the full content lifecycle: structured authoring (no DITA or XML expertise required), translation workflow management with XLIFF export, multi-stage Review & Approve with full audit trails, variant and conditional content management, and publishing to multiple simultaneous output formats. Customer outcomes include $3M+ annual savings and 60–70% content reuse in global manufacturing, $2M+ savings and 90% reuse in enterprise software, and ISO/508 compliance achieved unlocking government procurement. Author-it is cloud-hosted SaaS, headquartered in New Zealand, with offices in Seattle and the Netherlands. Pricing: Contact for pricing @ author-it.com
