I built a free AI README Generator (with markdown preview)

A developer built ReadmeAI, a free AI-powered README generator that creates professional markdown files from a project description. The tool uses Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and the Groq API, and is deployed on Vercel. It was created as part of a 30-day AI tools challenge.

Every developer hates writing READMEs. It's boring, repetitive, and always gets skipped. So I built ReadmeAI — describe your project, AI writes the README instantly.

What it does

Fill in project name, description, tech stack, features

AI generates a complete professional README.md

Switch between Raw and Preview tabs to see rendered markdown One click copy

Tech Stack

Next.js + Tailwind CSS

Groq API (openai/gpt-oss-120b) Deployed on Vercel

Why I built it

(Write 2-3 sentences personally — mention the challenge, that you're a student builder, makes it relatable)
