Auto Wiki – Turn your codebase into a Wiki
Hi HN! I’m Omar from Mutable.ai. We want to introduce Auto Wiki (https://wiki.mutable.ai/), which lets you generate a Wiki-style website to document your codebase. Citations link to code, with clickable references to each line of code being discussed. Here are some examples of popular projects: React: https://wiki.mutable.ai/facebook/react Ollama https://wiki.mutable.ai/jmorganca/ollama D3: https://wiki.mutable.ai/d3/d3 Terraform: https://wiki.mutable.ai/hashicorp/terraform Bitcoin:…
Auto Wiki – Turn your codebase into a Wiki launched on January 8, 2024 with 183 votes, #239 of 4,438 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Auto Wiki automatically generates a Wiki-style website that documents codebases. It is designed for developers who need to understand and navigate large projects. Citations include clickable links to specific lines of code, allowing users to view the exact implementation being discussed. The tool works with existing open-source projects and provides high-level overviews of how codebases are organized and structured.

How we leapfrogged traditional vector based RAG with a 'language map'2024 · twitter.com · ▲162TL;DR: Vector-based RAG performs poorly for many real-world applications like codebase chats, and you should consider 'language maps'. Part of our mission at Mutable.ai is to make it much easier for developers to build and understand software. One of the natural ways to do this is to create a codebase chat, that answer questions about your repo and help you build features. It might seem simple to plug in your codebase into a state-of-the-art LLM, but LLMs have two limitations that make human-level assistance with code difficult: 1. They currently have context windows that are too small to…

My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools2025 · aicode.danvoronov.com · ▲101I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.
