Confluence Alternative: Lighter, Faster Team Documentation
Nylio is a lighter, faster alternative to Confluence. Write documentation with AI assistance, real-time collaboration, and instant DOCX export — without the bloat and complexity.

Nylio gives you everything you actually need: fast document editing, AI writing assistance, real-time collaboration, and professional export. No learning curve, no bloat, no waiting for pages to load.
