About

You connect GitHub, and the tool reads your code, runs your app in a sandbox, and captures logged-in screenshots to draft help articles. Existing articles from Intercom, Zendesk, GitBook or Notion can be imported as editable drafts. Each merged pull request is checked against published articles, and stale ones are flagged with evidence and a suggested fix. Every draft is reviewed and published by you, and each claim links back to the code it came from.

From the founder

Who it's for

“Solo SaaS founders and small product teams who ship fast but have no time to write help articles, so their docs go stale and support tickets pile up.”

About me

“I'm Fraser Hardy, a fractional CTO and founder. I spent 11 years building Qudini through to its acquisition by Verint, and I now run Ellie Assist, an AI email assistant.”

— Fraser Hardy, founder of Ellie Docs

Who it is for

Teams whose help centre falls out of date because nobody has time to write docs
Product teams that want a changelog without writing release notes by hand

FAQ

Do I need GitHub to sign up?

No. Sign up with Google, Microsoft or email, and connect your repo when you're at your laptop.

What do I get on the free plan?

A full first draft of your help centre, live on yourname.elliedocs.com with AI answers and a changelog page. It stays up as long as you like.

Do I need a card to start?

No. You get 14 days of Growth free, then choose a plan or stay on Free. Nothing is deleted if you don't upgrade.

Does it work for apps built with Lovable, Bolt or v0?

Yes. If the code is in GitHub, Ellie reads it and runs the app, so you don't need to understand the code yourself.

Can it publish something wrong?

Not by itself. Ellie drafts and you publish. Drafts are checked against the code first, and changelog entries for unreleased work are held back.

What counts as an AI answer?

One reply from Ask AI on your help centre. Search, page views and drafting don't count. If you reach your limit we'll ask you to upgrade. We never send a surprise bill.

Can I move from another tool?

Yes. Point Ellie at your current help centre and every article comes across as a draft, ready to keep, improve or replace.
