Short answer

How can I see my Mintlify doc views using AI?

Your AI uses the get_page_views tool to fetch traffic data for any specific timeframe you request. You'll get precise page view counts and engagement metrics directly in your chat. This allows you to spot trending topics or declining interest instantly.

Engagement shifts

By comparing different timeframes, your AI identifies which docs are gaining or losing traction. This helps you spot content gaps.

ANALYSIS

Content insights

Your agent interprets the raw numbers to tell you which specific sections are most relevant to your users right now.

Manual updates

The AI provides the data, but you decide if the traffic patterns mean you need to rewrite or expand your documentation.
