How AI Documentation Works

Our agentic coding platform employs specialized documentation agents that analyze your codebase using advanced natural language processing and code understanding models. These agents work continuously to maintain accurate, helpful documentation.

Intelligent Documentation Process

  1. Code Analysis: AI agents scan and understand code structure, dependencies, and functionality
  2. Context Extraction: Agents identify purpose, usage patterns, and business logic
  3. Natural Language Generation: Convert technical concepts into clear, readable documentation
  4. Format Optimization: Generate documentation in multiple formats (Markdown, HTML, PDF)
  5. Continuous Updates: Automatically update documentation when code changes

Key Features & Capabilities

Real-time Synchronization

Documentation updates automatically with every code change, ensuring accuracy and relevance.

Multi-format Output

Generate documentation in Markdown, HTML, PDF, and popular documentation platforms like GitBook.

Code Example Generation

Automatically create relevant code examples and usage snippets for APIs and functions.

Language Intelligence

Native understanding of 15+ programming languages with language-specific documentation patterns.

Custom Templates

Define organization-specific documentation templates and style guides for consistent output.

Integration Ready

Seamless integration with GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Confluence, and popular documentation platforms.

Example AI-Generated Documentation

Here's how our AI agents transform code into comprehensive documentation:

// Original Function function calculateUserMetrics(users, timeframe) { const activeUsers = users.filter(u => u.lastActive > timeframe); const totalSessions = activeUsers.reduce((sum, u) => sum + u.sessions, 0); return { activeCount: activeUsers.length, averageSessions: totalSessions / activeUsers.length, engagementRate: (activeUsers.length / users.length) * 100 }; } // AI-Generated Documentation: /** * Calculate User Engagement Metrics * * Analyzes user activity data to generate key engagement metrics * for a specified time period. * * @param {Array} users - Array of user objects with activity data * @param {Date} timeframe - Cutoff date for determining active users * @returns {Object} Engagement metrics object * * @example * const users = [ * { id: 1, lastActive: new Date('2024-01-15'), sessions: 5 }, * { id: 2, lastActive: new Date('2024-01-10'), sessions: 3 } * ]; * const cutoff = new Date('2024-01-12'); * const metrics = calculateUserMetrics(users, cutoff); * // Returns: { activeCount: 1, averageSessions: 5, engagementRate: 50 } */ ## API Reference ### calculateUserMetrics(users, timeframe) Calculates comprehensive user engagement metrics based on activity data. **Parameters:** - `users` (Array): Collection of user objects containing activity information - `timeframe` (Date): Date threshold for determining active users **Returns:** - `activeCount` (number): Number of users active since timeframe - `averageSessions` (number): Mean sessions per active user - `engagementRate` (number): Percentage of total users who are active **Usage Example:** ```javascript const engagementData = calculateUserMetrics(userDatabase, lastWeek); console.log(`${engagementData.activeCount} active users with ${engagementData.engagementRate}% engagement`); ```
