What is GitBook?
GitBook is quietly building an in-editor docs agent and hardening reusable-content workflows.
GitBook ships weekly, and two threads dominate: the GitBook Agent (its in-editor AI) and reusable/change-request tooling. Recent releases let the Agent hold multiple chats per change request, read and set variables across docs, and handle more complex multi-step edits, while change requests gained diffs for reusable blocks and integration blocks inside reusable content. An API to update change-request content rounds out a docs-as-code posture.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.
ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.
GitBook vs ToolJet: editorial side-by-side
GitBook
5.0INFRA · APIS
GitBook is quietly building an in-editor docs agent and hardening reusable-content workflows.
◆ Current state
GitBook ships weekly, and two threads dominate: the GitBook Agent (its in-editor AI) and reusable/change-request tooling. Recent releases let the Agent hold multiple chats per change request, read and set variables across docs, and handle more complex multi-step edits, while change requests gained diffs for reusable blocks and integration blocks inside reusable content. An API to update change-request content rounds out a docs-as-code posture.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is an authoring surface where an AI agent does structural work — updating variables everywhere, executing multi-step edits — inside a reviewable change-request flow, and where content can be automated via API from CI/CD. GitBook is positioning itself less as a docs editor and more as a governed, agent-assisted documentation pipeline.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued GitBook Agent capability expansion (broader edit actions, deeper structural understanding) and more API coverage for change requests to support automated, pipeline-driven documentation updates.
ToolJet
7.5INFRA · APIS
ToolJet's AI builder goes model-agnostic with a multi-model catalog and MCP server baked into the enterprise image.
◆ Current state
ToolJet has shifted its core narrative from low-code app builder to AI-powered app builder. In the past two weeks alone: MCP server packaging bundled into the EE production image, a multi-model build system with a visual model picker and effort variants, and AI build notifications wired into the canvas. The beta branch (v3.21.x) is a steady feed of component-level improvements while the LTS branch (v3.20.x) is now absorbing the AI infrastructure.
◆ Where it's heading
ToolJet is building the infrastructure to make its AI builder run any model from any provider, not just OpenAI. The model catalog with effort variants (presumably mapping to cost/speed tradeoffs) and the bundled MCP server position ToolJet as a platform that AI agents can drive — not just a tool humans use to build apps. The Confluence marketplace integration points to continued enterprise integrations.
◆ Prediction
The MCP server now in the EE image will likely get documented API coverage in the next 2–3 releases, making ToolJet a programmable target for external AI agents. A new Basic plan suggests pricing restructuring; look for the AI builder features to be tiered behind higher plans.
