Helpkit – Turn Notion Into Professional Knowledge Bases Powered by AI

Tech Overview

Helpkit.so is a no-code platform designed specifically to turn Notion pages into professional, branded help centers and documentation sites without requiring technical knowledge. Built by indie developer Dominik, the platform leverages Notion's collaborative editing environment while delivering enterprise-grade presentation and performance—pages load up to 100 times faster than standard Notion pages.

The platform combines ease-of-use with powerful features: SEO optimization, full-text search, article analytics, embeddable widgets, and custom branding under your own domain. Recently, Helpkit introduced HelpKit AI, a GPT-powered chatbot trained on your knowledge base to automate customer support responses 24/7, reducing support ticket volume and freeing teams for complex issues.

How AI is used

  • Content Suggestions – AI can help identify gaps in your documentation based on unanswered customer queries
  • Automated Categorization – AI assists with auto-tagging and organizing articles for better discoverability
  • Sentiment Analysis – HelpKit AI learns customer pain points from search behavior to guide content creation

Real-world use cases

A SaaS founder using Helpkit migrated from SuperSo, Potion, and other Notion-based tools, describing the experience: "Everything is working smoothly and unbelievably fast...Before HelpKit, we tried SuperSo, Potion, and a few other Notion-based tools, but they don't even come close—not in speed, not in structure, and definitely not in the kind of polished, ready-to-go templates you've built. This kind of structure is just on another level." The founder emphasized the elegant design and the fact that all of this is built by one developer, highlighting Helpkit's efficiency and polish.
