A help center that updates itself as you ship.

Connect Claude Code to Alori once. Each time you ship a feature, it writes or updates the help article, takes a screenshot of each step and publishes it in English and French.

Set up once: one command and one rule in your CLAUDE.md.
A new feature gets a new article, and a changed one gets its article updated.
InputKit's help center runs this way.

Iris keeps the whole help center complete.

Iris, the help center guardian, walks your product on her own computer, writes the articles it's missing and takes fresh pictures of each step.

She covers what shipped since her last round.
She asks the team in Team chat when a fact is missing.
She shows her cost before you turn her on.

Bring your public pages over by link.

Import an article from its link, or paste the link in your Alori chat. Its title, text, links and pictures come over, saved in Alori.

Pick the section it goes in.
Nora learns from it right away.
Your own address on the Business plan.

Change it by asking.

Your app isn’t frozen on day one. Write what you need, the way you’d text it. Alori makes the change and shows you before anything goes live.

The full guide

Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.

Short answer: Alori is a GitBook alternative for small software companies whose docs are mostly for customers: how to sign up, set up and get unstuck. You get a help center in English and French, an AI bot that answers from it, and articles Claude Code updates each time you ship, all next to your CRM, support and invoices. Every plan has unlimited users, and each public GitBook page comes over from its link.

Why teams leave GitBook

GitBook is a great home for product and API docs. Teams with a customer help center leave it for these reasons:

Each docs site is a plan, and each teammate who writes is extra.
The help center is in GitBook, the chat and the tickets in another tool, and the customer in a CRM.
Someone has to remember to update the page when a screen changes, so articles fall behind the product.

What you pay

GitBook, as listed on its pricing page in November 2026, with monthly billing:

Team of 5	GitBook	Alori
Docs site	Essential $79 a site a month, Ultimate $299	Help center included
Teammates	$15 per user a month (1 user free on the Free plan)	Unlimited users on every plan
AI bot for customers	Assistant Ask on Essential, Assistant Chat on Ultimate, with AI credits	Nora, on your plan's credits
Plan	Per site plus per user	Free to start, Solo from $99 a month, Business from $249

Billed yearly, GitBook is $65 or $249 a site and $12 per user. See Alori's pricing.

What Alori replaces

Help center: articles with pictures and videos, sorted into sections, with search, your banner and your color. Your own address, like help.yourcompany.com, on the Business plan.
Ask Sam to translate an article between English and French. The new version is linked to the original and goes live with it.
A help center that updates itself: connect Claude Code to Alori once. Each feature you ship gets its article written or updated, with a screenshot per step. InputKit runs its help center this way.
Iris, the help center guardian, walks your product on her own computer, writes the articles it's missing and takes fresh pictures of each step.
An AI support bot: Nora answers website chats and support email from your help center, and hands off when a person is needed.
Website chat, tickets and Conversations in the same app, next to your customers.
Docs for the team: internal pages and databases, shared by role.

What Alori doesn't do yet

Alori has no Git sync with GitHub or GitLab, no API reference built from an OpenAPI file, no docs versions, and no content that changes for each signed-in reader. If you publish developer docs from your repository, stay on GitBook for those and keep customer help in Alori.

How to switch

Start free. Describe your business. Alori builds your app with customers, Conversations and the Help center.
Bring each public page. In the Help center, import an article from its link, or paste the link in your Alori chat. Its title, text, links and pictures come over, and Nora learns from it right away.
Or let Claude Code write them. Connect Claude Code to Alori and ask it to write the help center from your product, in English and French.
Point your help address to Alori. On the Business plan, set your own domain, then turn on the website chat.

Questions

Another question? Ask it when you start.

For a customer help center that should answer questions and stay current, yes. For developer docs synced from Git with an API reference, GitBook is the better tool.

A team of 5 on GitBook Essential pays $79 a site plus $15 per user each month. Alori starts free, Solo is from $99 a month, and every plan has unlimited users and includes the help center, chat and CRM.

Each public page comes over from its link: title, text, links and pictures, saved in Alori. Spaces, versions and Git history stay in GitBook.

Yes. Connect Claude Code and add one rule to your CLAUDE.md, and each feature you ship gets its article written or updated. Or turn on Iris to do it for you.

Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people.
