    Built this because I'm sick of keeping documentation up to date when everyone's using AI tools now. It will not only generate missing docs / update / remove docs as they need alignment, but you can hook up the MCP to whatever agent is being used these days and it'll inform it of codebase conventions & relevant documentation, telling it to update docs as it find them or as it makes changes (in the same PR as related work), and reduces spend on tokens by getting things right the first time without having to grep the whole codebase for context or go through 5 rounds of "follow our…

    Most products that touch PDFs or images quietly rebuild the same thing: a hacked-together “router” that picks which OCR/vision API to call, normalizes the responses, and prays the bill is sane at the end of the month. DocsRouter is that layer as a product: one stable API that talks to multiple OCR engines and vision LLMs, lets you route per document based on cost/quality/latency, and gives you normalized outputs (text, tables, fields) so your app doesn’t care which provider was used. It’s meant for teams doing serious stuff with documents: invoices/receipts, contracts,…

    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:…
