Simpler, outcome-based AI pricing
Every AI action in Mintlify now has a fixed credit price, and you only pay when we deliver a result. Assistant answers and automation updates cost credits. Everything else is free.
Scaling llms.txt
Large documentation sites were hitting Mintlify's 100,000-character llms.txt limit and omitting pages. We rebuilt generation as a hierarchy of files so agents can reach every page without loading the entire index.
Announcing Instant Rollbacks
Instant rollbacks are now live for Mintlify Enterprise customers. You can roll back to a known good deployment in seconds, without waiting on a full rebuild.
Your agent can sign up for Mintlify fully on its own
Mintlify's mint signup command creates an account from the CLI so coding agents can set up docs without a browser. Every step from signup to deploy works from the terminal.
Introducing Mintlify Index
Mintlify Index aggregates the docs of 9000 Mintlify-powered documentation sites into a natural language retrieval layer for coding agents.
Docs URL Benchmark: Markdown & llms.txt > HTML
We benchmarked four ways to serve documentation to AI agents (HTML, plain markdown, markdown linking to llms.txt, and markdown with llms.txt inlined) across 2,400 runs on 20 Mintlify docs sites, and found that a single link to llms.txt eliminates most agent 404s at no added cost.

Your documentation is a demand channel
Documentation is often the highest-traffic, highest-intent surface in your entire funnel. It's the first place a buyer visits before trying your product. It's where agents surface and push your product to prospects.
Markdown is the easy part
Mintlify might look like a Markdown hosting service from the outside. But the build versus buy question for content infrastructure goes much deeper than rendering Markdown.
Tokenmaxxing: one AI budget, four jobs
