I only recently met the leadership of Theneo, but have been spending time over the last couple of weeks getting to know what they offer to the space. I have to admit that when Theneo first reached out last fall I didn’t respond to their initial emails because I had dismissed them as similar to the other AI-powered tools flooding my inbox. But Theneo was persistent and reached out again this year, so I made sure to carve out the time to sign-up and explore some more. After sign-up and a little exploration I uploaded the OpenAPI one of my APIs, and here is what stood out to me. - **Modern API Documentation** - Theneo provides very clean, professional, and modern API documentation. - **Specification-Driven** - They built on top of OpenAPI, Postman, and understand the importance of specs. - **Real-World Integrations** - Common integrations into GitHut, VSCode, Postman and others out of the box. - **Address Top Pain Points** - Augmenting docs with access control, SEO, change log, and versioning. - **Sensible Artificial Intelligence** - Using AI in similar ways I do for enrichment and enhancement of docs. - **GitHub Investment** - They have interesting and usable open-source doc, CLI, SDK, and governance tools. Theneo passed my test for something I would recommend to my customers who are looking fora modern API documentation solutions. Theneo’s tag line to produce Stripe-like API documentation, as well as their speaking to the common pain points around producing and managing API documentation, combined with their respect of API specifications and open-source all helped them stand out on a noisy landscape as something I would recommend. Their sensible use of API alleviated many of the concerns I have with other API service providers right now. This blog post is not a requirement of sponorship of API Evangelist, but I am impressed with their approach and felt they were worthy of writing a glowing introduction. [I am thankful to have Theneo on board as the documentation partner for API Evangelist](https://bit.ly/41n9vPS), and looking forward to riding along for their journey—who knows where things might go. Thanks Theneo!!
