The fast and scaleable way to onboard new team members

COVID-19 has taught us that chat and video are a productivity bottleneck. And a happiness drain.

Archbee helps your team communicate asynchronously. This makes you effective and remote-ready.

Selling to developers? Probably not the way you think.

Developers don't "jump" on demos or sales calls. Let them educate themselves on product and they'll sell the product for you internally.

We provide you with the tools to onboard and activate them in your product with no human interaction.

Effortless content editing + collaboration

Knowledge is not just formatted text. Some concepts are better explained through specific blocks.

Unlock your team's expressive capabilities with: list, checklist, table, callout, minitask, file, image, video, map, multilanguage code editor, diagram, Mermaid.js, api endpoint, Swagger/Open API, GraphQL, changelog, HTML iframe

Easy document collaboration with inline comments.

This is knowledge management on steroids to help your team learn to communicate asynchronously.

This is how you build an efficient, resilient & remote-ready team.

We went far beyond the basic editing experience.

Archbee is a complete documentation workspace for your team!

Link docs, mention people to keep knowledge up to date and close by.

Each keystroke is a sub 15 millisecond process time.

One of the easiest as well, no training required. It's the fastest way build up your company's knowledge.

Use markdown shortcuts or just point and click to format for great readability.

Say goodbye to the slow & clunky

Organize your documents in collections. These can be your departments, projects or groups of people.

Each collection is a tree structure with infinite opportunities to capture and store your knowledge.

Keep information at your fingertips with Archbee's custom algorithm for search.

See what your customers & team are looking for and write the content.

That's an amazing way to know—not guess—what to write.

Documents have a huge lifetime, and many people contribute.

With Archbee you get to see its history all the way back, highlight the changes and revert if the need arises.

Keep the knowledge base private or make it public on your domain, but that's not all.

A plethora of access control settings can be set, for either your team or your customers.

Knowledge management is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

Keep information linked so people can quickly read through all your workspace.

Great for onboarding, great for building a great team.

should be an island.
