## AI overview

Mintlify introduces Mintlify Index, a retrieval layer that aggregates documentation from 9,000 Mintlify-powered sites for coding agents. It routes documentation-related queries to optimized retrieval and other queries to an external web search provider, with fallback between sources. The article reports an experiment in which Index was preferred in 96 of 150 implementation-planning tasks and completed tasks 48% faster end-to-end, with higher factual correctness and citation support and fewer critical errors. Mintlify launched Index as a free beta with an API and MCP server.
