Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:\n\n**Shared workspace / team notes**\n\n1. **Notion** - the default I'd start with for most remote teams. Real-time co-editing, granular permissions, databases so notes connect to projects, a huge template library, and solid AI search across the workspace. It's the one most new hires already know. Downside: it gets messy without someone owning the structure.\n2. **Slite** - my pick if Notion feels like too much tool. Purpose-built as a clean internal wiki, and its \"Ask\" feature answers questions with citations back to your own docs - genuinely useful for async teams across time zones. Sweet spot is roughly 5-50 people, ~$8/user/mo.\n3. **Confluence** - the boring-but-right answer if you're already on Jira/Atlassian. Best-in-class permissions and admin controls, enterprise-ready. Pages do tend toward walls of text that nobody reads.\n4. **Coda** - best when your notes want to *do* something (trackers, interactive docs, lightweight apps). Its pricing is unusually kind to big teams since only doc *creat", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
