What Is AutomaDocs?
AutomaDocs is a tool for GitHub teams that want documentation to stay current without writing and rewriting docs by hand.
01
Mission
Our Mission
Teams lose time when architecture notes, API docs, and onboarding docs drift away from the code. AutomaDocs generates docs from your repository and refreshes them when code changes.

Beliefs
What We Believe
- 01
Code-Aware Generation
We use Claude to read code context and generate documentation teams can verify and use. - 02
Developer Experience
Built by developers who understand the pain of stale internal documentation. - 03
Automation
Pages that update automatically when your code changes. No more manual maintenance. - 04
Community
Built to serve the developer community. Good internal docs mean fewer repeated questions and faster contributions, for everyone on the team.

Process
How AutomaDocs Works
Connect and draft
You connect a repository with GitHub OAuth. AutomaDocs parses the codebase and drafts documentation pages for modules, APIs, and core architecture areas.
Refresh and ask
When code changes are pushed, docs are refreshed. Teams can search docs and ask questions in chat with source citations.
04
Audience
Who This Is For
- 01
Managers and leads
Engineering managers and tech leads on small and mid-size product teams that ship in GitHub. - 02
Onboarding teams
Teams onboarding new developers who ask where features are implemented and which files to read first. - 03
Fewer repeat questions
Teams that want fewer repeat Slack questions and faster ramp-up without adding a full-time documentation owner.
05
Stack
Our Technology
Claude AI

Tree-sitter
Our code parser extracts functions, classes, and relationships from your codebase to build a complete picture.
Pinecone
Vector database enables semantic search across your documentation.
MCP Protocol
Our documentation is consumable by AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor via the Model Context Protocol.

Liz SteinFounder, AutomaDocs
Full-stack developer. Built AutomaDocs after spending too many sprints answering the same code questions in Slack, questions that should have been answered by documentation that didn't exist or was out of date.
