ReadMe is a developer experience platform founded in 2014 that helps teams build interactive API documentation and developer hubs connected to the actual API experience. The company's technical work spans API documentation tooling, developer experience platforms, AI-assisted content tooling, API analytics, and interactive developer portals.
Its AI work centres on two built-in features of the documentation platform: Ask AI, a content-assistance tool, and Agent Owlbert, an AI agent that supports documentation teams. These sit alongside the ReadMe Developer Hub Platform, which offers Git-style workflows including branching and versioning, and lets developers test API calls directly in the documentation, and API Analytics, which shows how developers use APIs. The platform is used by more than 5,000 companies.
ReadMe serves customers across software development and API-first technology companies, from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. The company frames documentation as a competitive advantage rather than a chore, and its stated mission is to make developer experience "magical". The company's approach is rooted in its founder's experience in developer tooling at Mozilla and in building documentation for startups.
