In plain words
DocGen automatically generates software documentation from GitHub repositories using Claude AI, producing project overviews, file guides, setup instructions, and feature summaries within minutes. The tool is designed for engineering teams that prioritize shipping speed over manual documentation maintenance. It requires no installation or configuration—users simply provide a GitHub URL and receive complete documentation that updates automatically with code changes. A free tier covers five repositories, with a paid option available for additional access.

Connect your GitHub repo. Get a complete set of docs in 5 minutes — project overview, file guide, API reference, and onboarding instructions. Updates itself every time you push code. Engineers hate writing documentation. It always gets deprioritized. New hires spend weeks just reading code trying to understand what does what. Even when docs exist, they're wrong within weeks. Code changes, docs don't. Developers stop trusting them and stop reading them entirely. Every new engineer hire takes 4–8 weeks to become productive. No good docs is the #1 reason. That costs companies ₹8–25 lakh per hire in lost productivity. You save thousands on your very first hire. That's a massive return on…from docgen-lemon-eight.vercel.app

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:…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
