Mintlify is a documentation platform built by cofounders Han Wang and Hahnbee Lee to help teams create and maintain developer docs. In this episode, Andreessen Horowitz general partners Jennifer Li and Yoko Li speak with Han and Hahnbee about how coding agents are changing what “good docs” mean, shifting documentation from a human-only resource into infrastructure that powers AI tools, support agents, and internal knowledge workflows. They share Mintlify’s early journey, including eight pivots, the two-day prototype that landed their first customer, and the “do things that don’t scale” sales motion that helped them win early traction. The conversation also covers why docs go out of date, what “self-healing” documentation requires to actually work, and how serving fast-moving customers has shaped both their product priorities and their pace.Follow Jennifer Li on X: https://twitter.com/JenniferHliFollow Yoko Li on X: https://twitter.com/stuffyokodrawsFollow Han Wang on X: https://twitter.com/handotdevFollow Hahnbee Lee on X: https://twitter.com/hahnbeelee Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.
