Why they’re different
GitBook is a polished doc site you publish — guides, references, knowledge bases, internal wikis. The content is whatever your team writes and maintains. Specsight is the live picture of what your product actually does — features, behaviour, what shipped, every release. GitBook delivers your team's writing to readers. Specsight delivers your product's behaviour to your team
How they fit together
Most teams need both. GitBook stays the home of the docs you publish to readers. Specsight covers what GitBook can't: an always-accurate internal view of how your product behaves today, generated from the code itself
Frequently asked questions
GitBook holds what your team writes — guides, references, knowledge bases. Specsight holds what your code already does — captured automatically, updated every release. They cover different jobs: GitBook is for readers, Specsight is for your team
No. Specsight maintains your internal product spec, plus shareable release reports for clients. For a polished public docs site at docs.yourcompany.com, GitBook is the right tool
Every release triggers Specsight to re-read what changed. Nobody writes anything, nobody remembers to update. The picture stays accurate because it's generated from the product itself
