ChristopheHKQ: How to integrate with a existing app repo ?
Documentation.ai looks to be a very powerful tool ! Before pushing the buy button, could you let me know if, as I have a github repo for my app, I can generate the documentation of my app using documentation.ai ? If it's possible, have you got à tutorial for this ?
Thank you !

Are you looking to generate user-facing documentation or internal code walkthrough documentation? The current agent cannot handle long-running tasks, but we are adding background agents, which should be live next week. They will be able to generate full documentation by analyzing the codebase in one go.
Interesting ! My main goal would be to generate user facing documentation, indeed. The background agents could be the way to go !
So, I could provide Documentation.ai with my source code repo from github, and it will analyze the code and generate the docs ? I believe I will have to prépare the structure of the doc first, right ? I mean "one doc page for this feature, one doc page for user roles.."
Yes, once the background agent is ready, you can instruct what sections you want etc, then it will create a plan and it will execute after you approve it.
For user facing documentation, there are few things you would require mantual intervention such as screenshots, or step by steps that are not obvious in the code. As agent cant navigate your product yet like a human does(this is in roadmap)
Crystal clear. Can't wait to test them !
If I'm correct, the doc will have its own repo in my github account. So any change I will made in this repo will then be published to users ?
Yes, you can connect your git and once connected, we use your repo as a source. Any changes will be published automatically.
Thank you 👌👍🏻
