AI-Powered Docs: Generate Docs Directly from Your Public Repos in 1-3 Minutes

Hey Dev.to! 👋

I’m Andrew from docs.dev, and we’ve built an AI-powered docs assistant that helps generate, audit, and manage documentation directly from your codebase, existing docs, and other sources.

🚀 Try it out: We have built a whole product for documentation generation and management but we wanted an easy way for folks to get started so we just launched a quick 1-minute tool to instantly generate docs from your GitHub repo: Generate Docs Instantly. It works with any moderately sized public repo.

Try it out here: https://app.docs.dev/generate-docs-instantly

Why Another Docs Tool?

We love great documentation, but we kept hearing the same problems:

❌ Docs are outdated as soon as code changes.
❌ Devs don’t have time to write docs.
❌ The handoff between devs and documentation teams is slow and painful.

We don’t believe AI will replace technical writers—our goal is to give teams a head start with a solid first draft that they can review, edit, and improve.

What Can Docs.dev Do?

✅ Works with any markdown-powered framework
✅ Generates clean markdown files synced with your GitHub repo
✅ Supports existing markdown docs, your codebase, and even Slack threads as context

We’d love for you to try it out, break it, and give us feedback! You can check out what we’re building at docs.dev or dive into our docs at learn.docs.dev.

Would love to hear your thoughts—what are your biggest struggles with documentation?
