Features to power your workflows…

No, we do not offer a chatbot or an AI agent directly. Stack Overflow for Teams is a knowledge platform designed to power the AI tools your organization is already using—like copilots, chatbots, and assistants—with trusted, high-quality, technical knowledge. The AI features in our knowledge platform support and streamline these initiatives.

Rather than building yet another AI interface, our focus is on ensuring the tools you’ve already invested in can produce more accurate and context-aware answers by integrating with your organization’s internal knowledge and the millions of validated questions and answers from Stack Overflow. We act as a foundational layer that connects your knowledge sources (like Stack Overflow for Teams, GitHub, Confluence, etc.) to your existing AI stack, improving the accuracy and reliability of its outputs.

Think of it as giving your copilots and LLMs access to the most authoritative technical documentation and institutional knowledge—without duplicating functionality you already have.

AI-powered code generation tools like GitHub Copilot make it easier to write boilerplate code, but they don’t eliminate the need to consult with your organization’s domain experts to work through logic, debugging, and other complex problems.

Stack Overflow for Teams is a knowledge-sharing platform that transfers contextual knowledge validated by your domain experts to other employees, and can even be used to foster a code generation community of practice that champions early adopters and scales their learnings. OverflowAI makes this trusted internal knowledge—along with knowledge validated by the global Stack Overflow community—instantly accessible in places like your IDE so it can be used alongside code generation tools to learn more about your codebase and speed up your time-to-production.

Sometimes the number of tools isn’t the problem—low tool adoption is. Low tool adoption often occurs because people don’t know where to find help or who to ask about issues, processes, and best practices.

This is where Stack Overflow for Teams shines—it drives tool adoption by scaling communities of practice and domain expertise. Many organizations use it to optimize their developer experience, and OverflowAI takes it to the next level with validated answers that span your internal community, stackoverflow.com, and soon, tools like GitHub and Jira. To prevent tool switching, we offer a robust read/write API and out-of-the-box integrations. And to help drive long-term engagement, we offer tailored knowledge management services and actionable analytics.

ChatGPT is designed to generate answers for individuals, using existing resources. People can save their prompt history, but others in the organization can’t discover or search their history. That leaves people operating in silos, potentially duplicating efforts or expanding knowledge gaps. ChatGPT also doesn’t maintain and update knowledge.

Stack Overflow for Teams is built with a knowledge-sharing community as the foundation. It removes silos by collecting and distributing trusted knowledge throughout your organization, and can even be used alongside ChatGPT to foster a community of practice. Features like Content Health and Communities encourage teams to document, validate, and maintain knowledge in a central place. OverflowAI then summarizes this knowledge—along with knowledge validated by the global Stack Overflow community—into attributed insights in your web browser, IDE, and chat apps.

Enterprise Search tools are great for surfacing existing knowledge, but they aren’t great for documenting or managing new knowledge.

Stack Overflow for Teams provides a fresh source of contextual knowledge that’s shared, validated, and maintained by your internal community. It offers features like gamification, Communities, and Content Health that Enterprise Search tools typically don’t have, and has a robust read/write API so you can surface Stack Overflow for Teams knowledge in your own portals and search tools. Enhanced Search upgrades your search experience by summarizing the most relevant search results across private and public Stack Overflow knowledge into answers that attribute sources.
