The self-updating help centerYour product keeps changing. Now your help center keeps up.DocCharm notices every change your product team ships and drafts the help-article updates for you — new articles, refreshed ones, retired ones. You review, click approve, and your customers always see the truth.Free to start · No credit card · Nothing ever publishes without your approvalCharm noticed: your team shipped two-factor authenticationNew articleHigh confidencejust nowSet up two-factor authentication✦Why: this feature is new and customers will look for setup help — no article covers it yet.Edit firstHelp center health — every article verified current86%100%⏱ Drafted before the first ticket arrivedSound familiar?Nobody plans for their help center to go stale. It just happens.Your product team ships every week. Every release quietly makes another article wrong — and nobody tells you until a customer does.📨Your team answers the same question every dayThe answer should live in your help center. Instead it lives in your agents' heads — and in a hundred near-identical ticket replies.😬You've shared links you knew were outdatedThe article describes the old flow, the buttons have moved, and fixing it means chasing the product team for details. So it waits another quarter.👋Customers stop trusting your docs — then stop reading themOnce someone follows an article that's wrong, they don't come back. Every question becomes a ticket, and self-service quietly dies.How it worksCharm watches what ships, so you don't have to.DocCharm plugs into where your product is built. When something customer-facing changes, the right articles arrive in your review queue — already written.1Connect onceAsk an engineer for one favor: a one-click install that links DocCharm to where your product is built. That's the last time anyone touches anything technical.2Charm notices what shippedIt quietly watches product changes and works out which ones matter to customers. A renamed button, a new feature, a changed flow — it catches what release notes miss.3You approve, it publishesEvery draft waits for you. Approve it, tweak the wording first, or dismiss it. The moment you say yes, it's live in your help center.No prompting, no copy-pasting, no chasing the product team for details.

The drafts come to you.Why teams trust itHelpful AI, with you holding the pen.A help center only works if customers can trust every word. DocCharm is built so that trust never has to be a leap of faith.Approve & publishNothing publishes itselfEvery single update waits in your review queue until a person approves it. That's not a limitation — it's the whole point. Your help center, your voice, your final word.Every draft shows its evidenceEach suggestion explains what changed in the product, why the article needs updating, and how confident Charm is — so you can approve in seconds, not investigate for an hour.Stale articles flag themselvesArticles stay linked to the parts of the product they describe. If that part changes later, the article raises its hand — before a customer finds out the hard way.🔒Your product's secrets stay secretDocCharm reads your product with the minimum access possible, encrypts your data in transit, strips secrets out of what it reads, and never uses your company's information to train anyone else's AI.One source of truthOne knowledge base. Two front doors.Write once, choose who sees it. Customers get a beautiful public help center; your own team gets internal docs that are just as current.
