The tool takes a short written note describing what changed, proposes a small edit tied to that fact, and leaves the user in control of what remains on the page, with documents stored in the EU on AWS in Ireland and sign-in, search, and generation running in the United States. Cortee states it does not train on or sell customer data, and that access is separate per organization, restricted, and logged.", "body_md": "# Write documentation fast\n\nwith minimal effort.\n\nWhen you tell Cortee what changed, it updates the live page in under a second<sup>1</sup>.\n\n## From a written note to a reviewed change\n\n[Write what you know.](#intern-thought) Cortee [applies the edit.](#intern-edit) You [remain in control.](#intern-control)\n\n1. ### Write what you knowThink of it as your notepad. Use a few words to describe what changed.\n2. ### Cortee applies the editThe edit lands on the live page, so you can see what changed right away.\n3. ### You remain in controlEvery paragraph is backed by the facts you wrote, so you can see where any line came from.\n\n## Why Cortee\n\n## A narrower approach to generated documentation\n\nA wiki leaves the writing to people, so trust stays high and updates stay slow. A markdown repository can rewrite entire pages, then leave changes that are hard to follow. Cortee takes a narrower path. From the fact you provide, it proposes a small change tied to that fact, and you decide what remains on the page.\n\n[AI documentation that stays current](https://www.cortee.ai/ai-documentation) · [Docs without Git](https://www.cortee.ai/docs-without-git) · [Compare](https://www.cortee.ai/compare)\n\n## Your data stays yours.\n\nFor more information, visit our [Privacy Policy](https://www.cortee.ai/privacy) and [Data Processing Agreement](https://www.cortee.ai/data-processing-agreement).\n\n### What we never do\n\n- We do not train on your data.\n- We do not sell your data.\n\n### Where it lives\n\n- Documents are stored in the EU on AWS in Ireland, including history and logs.\n- Sign-in, search, and generation currently run in the United States.\n\n### Access and control\n\n- Access is separate for each organization.\n- Access is restricted and logged.\n- You can export or delete your data on request.\n\n## When a process changes, the documentation should change with it.\n\n<sup>1</sup> Typical edit latency is around 0.7s in internal tests.
