Their Pitch

Meet your new AI-powered workspace.

Our Take

It's a team wiki that connects to your project management tools. Think Wikipedia for your company, but with better editing and it talks to Jira.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Your product requirements live in 12 different Google Docs and nobody knows which is current** → One central wiki with version history and automatic notifications when things change
  • +**Engineers keep asking "what was the original spec for this feature?"** → Link Jira tickets directly to requirement docs so context never gets lost
  • +**Meeting prep takes 4 hours because you're rebuilding the same slides** → Reusable page templates and presenter mode turns any doc into a slideshow
  • +Real-time collaborative editing - multiple people can edit simultaneously without the "wait, who has edit access?" dance
  • +Database macros pull live data from Jira into dashboards without manual updates

Best For

  • >Your team loses 4 hours a week hunting for the latest version of docs scattered across email and Google Drive
  • >You're already using Jira and tired of tickets with zero context or background
  • >Hit that magic 50+ person mark where informal knowledge sharing stops working

Not For

  • -Teams under 20 people — you're paying $6+ per person monthly for features a shared Google Drive handles fine
  • -Anyone wanting simple note-taking — this is built for structured documentation, not quick thoughts
  • -Budget-conscious startups — Notion does 80% of this for half the price if you don't need heavy Jira integration

Pairs With

  • *Jira (the whole point - tickets embed directly into docs so you never lose context)
  • *Slack (where everyone gets pinged when pages update, sometimes too much)
  • *Trello (for teams that want simpler task management but need the heavy documentation)
  • *Google Workspace (you'll still need Sheets for quick data and Gmail for everything else)
  • *Figma (where designs live before you document the requirements in Confluence)
  • *GitHub (engineering teams link code repos to technical documentation)

The Catch

  • !Search gets frustratingly slow once you hit 1,000+ pages, and it completely misses content in file attachments
  • !The mobile experience is pretty rough — macros break and editing feels clunky on phones
  • !Page organization becomes a nightmare without someone dedicated to maintaining the structure (orphaned pages everywhere)

Bottom Line

The wiki that engineering teams actually use because it syncs with Jira and doesn't break when 5 people edit at once.
