Slab
Wiki and knowledge hub designed for non-technical and technical teams alike
What is Slab?
Slab is a wiki and knowledge base built for the whole company, not just engineers, with a clean editor, topic-based organization, and unified search across integrations like Slack, GitHub, and Google Drive. It is bought by ops, HR, and engineering leaders who want documentation that non-technical teammates actually use. Its verification system lets subject-matter experts mark posts as trusted and flag stale content.
Knowledge bases, internal search, operations, data, finance, HR, and back-office tools with AI workflows.
