I stopped writing docs, and let agents do it instead

An innovative approach to maintaining up-to-date documentation is showcased through the development of an autonomous agent on Ona that automatically writes Markdown and opens draft pull requests for documentation updates. This agent, which runs on a schedule in a secure sandbox environment, identifies changes in the codebase and generates documentation updates, addressing the common problem of documentation lagging behind code changes. By using Ona Automations, the agent ensures consistent operation without relying on local environments, and integrates seamlessly with existing development tools, reducing setup time. The process involves scanning code changes daily and drafting updates, significantly improving efficiency by transforming a typically time-consuming task into a quick review process. Despite challenges such as refining the agent's tone and filtering irrelevant changes, the system effectively minimizes the burden on developers, allowing them to focus on reviewing rather than creating documentation from scratch.
