Question: Best knowledge base for internal + external docs?

ChatGPT SearchOct 25, 2026

My starting recommendation is to shortlist Confluence, Document360, Guru, and GitBook.

ChatGPT SearchOct 5, 2026

GitBook — I'd pick this instead if the external docs are primarily developer/API/product documentation.
