Slite

Slite is honestly one of the best knowledgebases I've come across, but with this new update, it's become so so so much more! The Slite team have managed to strike gold with the perfect implementation of AI into a knowledge base. AI should not be used for content generation in a KB. It should be used to save people time and help make them 10x more productive, that's exactly what Slite does with this new update. Mega job team, you fuc**ng rock 🤜 (Side note: we've just been able to replace a tool because of Ask Slite! We used to collect our user research in a tool for analysis, with Ask, we document it all in Slite and Ask Slite to summarise insights. AMAZING)

Love it so far. Team is in awe on how useful this is for onboarding and creating new shared knowledge for the entire team. It's like sharing one brain! Highly recommend. One suggestion tho: maybe add new features like hide a piece of text information from within a document behind a custom password, add clickable buttons to do several different types of options (like copy a pre-written piece of text/word, generate a prefilled table, etc...). And also update/improve the smart table which aren't so smart after all, just very colorful.

I've been a very happy Slite user for over 5 years now, and it's the only SaaS I've heavily recommended. Their fantastic editor and clean design originally is what made me love them, as it makes writing documentation that looks good require very effortless. These makes it easy to kept Slite updated and relied on by others for information. Slite's use of AI is interesting and helps making information further accessible. My favourite feature still has to be collections though. I've tried other tools for team documentation such as Wiki.js, Notion and also Microsoft Loop but every time I have missed using Slite, either due to the friction to write/editor experience, the poor visual design/spacing or just due to a lack of the many little useful features Slite has.

I have tried a number of collaborative note taking, knowledge management tools including Notion, Nuclino, Roam Research, Skiff, and others. Slite ticks the most boxes for us. Very generous EDU support, anonymous read/write access via secret link, support for LaTeX block equations are just a few of the features we really like in our academic research laboratory. If more integration/webhooks, inline LaTeX equations, and better table formatting (header row/col) are supported, Slite will be so far ahead. The upcoming AI feature looks intriguing. I hope offline read/write access with re-sync when back online is something that Slite is considering as well.

With no shortage of note taking tools on the market, this feels like the only one that was actually built for remote and asynchronous work. The feature set is all about simplicity and relaying important information to team members. Even the search (Ask) functionality summarizes all of the information across numerous documents into one concise answer, referencing every relevant document for you. Slite is actually about getting work done and doing collaborative work seamlessly.

After using Basecamp, Guru, Google docs, basically every traditional wiki in past jobs (10 years in SAAS tech support), I found Slite to be so easy to use; It's straight up HARD to make an ugly doc. I liked it so much, I actually applied with them as the first support hire. 😂 Almost 3 years later I still love this product.

My team tried Slite for internal documentation. I personally used it for meeting notes and idea dumps. It looks clean, but performance was slow at times. The search also felt clunky. It's got potential, but it's not ready to replace our current setup just yet.

Slite has been my dear companion for many years and to have this functionality launched is a game changer! I previously had to “fake it” with multiple notes and tabs. It’s now perfect and steady 😍
