Generate docs from your public repos▲27
Hello HN, I’m Andrew from docs.dev (https://docs.dev/), an AI powered docs assistant. With docs.dev you can generate your docs directly from your codebase, existing docs and other context sources. We don’t believe AI will replace technical writers—our goal is to make it easier for teams to get a solid first draft that they can review, edit, and improve. Think of it as a head start, not a finished product. More info on what we’ve built below but we wanted to release a quick, 1 minute, generate docs from your codebase tool. Try it out here:…
