The Slite agent keeps your documentation accurate and answers your team's questions across all the tools you already use. It's what makes Slite a self-maintaining knowledge base.
What the Slite agent does
The agent has two jobs: keeping your knowledge base true, and finding answers from it.
Spots docs that have drifted — it watches your connected tools and flags when a doc no longer matches reality, so you hear about a stale doc before your customer or newest hire does.
Proposes the fix — instead of just flagging the problem, it drafts the update and sends each doc owner a list of what needs changing.
Keeps you in control — every proposed change waits in a review queue, the old and new versions side by side, and nothing goes live until a person approves it.
Builds docs from what's already happening — turn a Slack thread into an onboarding doc, or a closed Jira ticket into a process update, starting from a polished draft instead of a blank page.
Finds any answer — ask a plain question and it reads across your docs, Slack, CRM, and tickets to hand you one sourced answer.
Depending on the connected source, the agent may explicitly respect access permissions, so people only see information they're allowed to see. See Agent Data Sourcesto see which ones follow this pattern.
How teams typically get started
Most teams follow this simple setup:
Connect your data sources so the agent can monitor and search across your tools
Ask a few real questions to see instant value
Review your first maintenance suggestions as the agent flags docs that need updating
Set up a Digest for updates you check regularly
You can start with just one of these and build from there.
