Built for Mintlify teams
Launch a source-cited chatbot without rebuilding your docs stack
ChattyBox crawls your existing documentation, indexes the content for retrieval, and embeds a chatbot that answers using your docs instead of generic model memory.
Answers are grounded in your published website, docs, help, or CMS content.
Source citations send users back to the exact docs page.
The widget installs without replacing your website, docs, CMS, or help platform.
Analytics reveal the questions your content does not answer yet.
Workflow step
Enter your website, documentation, help center, CMS, or sitemap URL in ChattyBox.
Workflow step
Let the crawler extract pages, headings, and readable text.
Workflow step
Test real user questions and verify source citations.
Workflow step
Embed the widget with one script tag and monitor unanswered questions.
Three-step launch
Paste your Mintlify URL, test cited answers, then install the widget.
When ChattyBox makes sense
Use ChattyBox when your docs assistant needs to live beyond Mintlify
Mintlify already gives teams a native AI assistant. ChattyBox is a better fit when you want one documentation chatbot strategy across multiple properties, or when you want usage, styling, and analytics managed outside your Mintlify account.
02
Keep assistant usage separate
ChattyBox has its own plans, hard caps on lower tiers, and optional pay-as-you-go on higher tiers, so assistant usage can be managed outside Mintlify credits.
03
Own the widget experience
Use ChattyBox when you want a separately branded widget, separate dashboard, and the same install pattern on Mintlify and non-Mintlify pages.
04
Compare answer quality before switching
Test real support questions against ChattyBox before changing your Mintlify setup, then keep whichever assistant gives your team the right control and answer quality.

FAQ
Common questions
Why use ChattyBox if Mintlify has a built-in assistant?
Use ChattyBox when you want an independent assistant that can cover Mintlify docs plus other public docs, websites, or help content from the same dashboard.
Can ChattyBox be embedded on Mintlify?
Yes. Mintlify supports custom JavaScript for widgets and integrations, so ChattyBox can be loaded as a lightweight website widget.
Can answers cite original docs pages?
Yes. ChattyBox responses can include source links back to the Mintlify pages or other indexed public pages used to answer each question.
Should I replace Mintlify Assistant?
Not necessarily. Mintlify Assistant is a strong native option. ChattyBox is most useful when you need a separate cross-platform chatbot, different usage controls, or one assistant across content outside Mintlify.
