Slab

Modern team knowledge base with unified search

Tool Overview

Tool Type

Modern team knowledge base with unified search across connected tools

Core Purpose

Slab positions itself as the anti-sprawl knowledge base that solves information fragmentation through unified search. Unlike wikis focusing on creating content, Slab emphasizes finding answers quickly across multiple tools and sources. It assumes teams already have documentation scattered everywhere and need better discovery rather than another place to write. Slab excels when reducing time spent searching and asking repetitive questions matters more than advanced features or customization. It struggles when teams need flexible databases, public documentation sites, or extensive customization that Notion and GitBook provide.
