Automatically create comprehensive technical documentation from your codebase using AI, have it reviewed by your team, and publish to your knowledge base.

Workflow Steps

GitHub Actions

Trigger on code changes

Set up a GitHub Action that triggers when code is pushed to main branch or when a new release is tagged. Configure it to scan changed files and extract code comments, function signatures, and README updates.

OpenAI GPT-4

Generate documentation

Use GPT-4 API to analyze the code changes and generate comprehensive documentation including API references, usage examples, and integration guides. Prompt it to maintain consistency with existing documentation style.

Slack

Request team review

Send the generated documentation to a designated Slack channel for team review. Include a preview of the content and ask for approval or edits within 24 hours.

Notion

Publish final documentation

Once approved, automatically create or update pages in your Notion workspace. Organize content by product areas, add proper tags, and update the documentation index with links to new content.
