The tool uses AST parsing and a code-aware retrieval pipeline to keep documentation in sync as code evolves, eliminating manual maintenance. Engineering teams at companies like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps use it to solve stale documentation problems.", "body_md": "DocuWriter is an **AI code documentation tool** that connects to your repository and generates a full book-style\ndocumentation tree from your source code: **code documentation, API documentation, and UML\ndiagrams**. It keeps everything in sync as your code evolves. No\nMDX. No prose to maintain. No documentation team\nrequired.\n\n\"We inherited a 12-year-old codebase and nobody knows how it works anymore.\"\n\n– every engineering team ever\n\n\"Our docs are so stale that nobody trusts them. We just ask the senior engineer.\"\n\n– the senior engineer who is tired\n\n\"We're onboarding eight new hires next quarter and they can't find anything.\"\n\n– the head of engineering writing this on a flight\n\nGitHub, GitLab (incl. self-hosted), Bitbucket, Azure\nDevOps. **OAuth or PAT. Two clicks.**\n\nWe analyze your codebase with **AST parsing and a code-aware retrieval pipeline**, not an LLM editing prose. The result is a\ncomplete, hierarchical documentation tree grounded\nin your actual source.\n\nEdit anything in our editor. Publish to a private\nteam space or a public-facing site. **Autopilot watches your repo** and opens reviewable update suggestions every time the\ncode changes.\n\nThe five reasons our customers actually buy.\n\n\"We bought / merged / inherited 12 years of code with no docs.\"\n\n\"New hires spend their first month asking the same questions.\"\n\n\"The auditor wants architecture, API, and module documentation by Friday.\"\n\n\"We're handing this codebase to a partner / acquirer / new team.\"\n\nTrusted by engineering teams at\n\nMost documentation tools assume you'll write\neverything yourself and remember to keep it updated.\n**You won't. Nobody does.**\n\nDocuWriter's Autopilot is the **AI documentation tool** that watches your connected repositories. When code\nchanges (every push, every merged PR) it reviews the diff,\nidentifies which documents are now wrong, and opens a\nreviewable suggestion. This is real **automatic code documentation**: **Approve, discard, or edit** before anything\nis published.\n\nNotifications go to Slack, Teams, Google Chat, or your custom webhook. Auto-apply rules let you skip review for low-risk doc-only edits. High-confidence suggestions can be applied automatically; sensitive ones always wait for a human.\n\n`AuthService.refresh()`\n\nsignature changed: 2 docs affected\n\nNew endpoint `POST /v2/billing/invoices`\n\n: add to API Reference\n\n`RetryPolicy`\n\nrenamed to `BackoffStrategy`\n\n: update 4 references\n\nArchitecture diagram may be stale: 3 new modules detected\n\nPossible deprecation: `useLegacyClient`\n\n.
