## Frequently asked questions

**What’s the best AI assistant for documentation?**  
Look for **cited answers**, **version awareness**, **easy deployment options**, and **coverage/deflection analytics**. Kapa.ai is built specifically for technical documentation and includes all four.

**How do I add AI search / a chatbot to my documentation?**  
Drop in a small script (or plugin), connect your doc source(s), let Kapa index, then embed the widget in your docs/help center. Most teams go live in minutes.

**What documentation sites and platforms are supported?**  
Docusaurus, MkDocs, Sphinx, Read the Docs, GitBook, Mintlify, Next.js/Nextra, WordPress, Webflow, Framer—and help centers like **Zendesk Guide**, **Freshdesk**, and **Salesforce Service Cloud**. Full list and setup guides: [**docs.kapa.ai/integrations**](https://docs.kapa.ai/integrations).

**Who uses the Kapa documentation assistant?**  
**200+ companies and OSS projects**, including Docker, Sentry, CircleCI, Monday.com, n8n, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Temporal, and Apache Superset.

**How do I configure sources?**  
Add sources in the Kapa dashboard (website/sitemap, Markdown/MDX, PDFs, Confluence, repos, and more). We handle crawling, parsing, and scheduled re‑indexing. Learn more: [**docs.kapa.ai/data-sources/overview**](https://docs.kapa.ai/data-sources/overview).

**Does the documentation chatbot show citations and deep links?**  
Yes - every answer includes citations and deep links to the exact page/heading or code example it used.

**Can it handle versioned docs (v1/v2, beta, etc.)?**  
Yes - map versions by URL path or tag so the assistant answers with the correct version using the Source Group feature on the kapa platform.

**Does it work with our help center to deflect tickets?**  
Yes - embed the assistant in your docs/help center (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk, Salesforce) and track deflection and first‑contact resolution with built‑in analytics.

**Can Kapa show analytics to find gaps in our documentation?**  
Yes - coverage analytics highlight top unanswered questions, low-confidence answers, and source usage so your team can fix gaps or create new docs.
