How we automatically generate documentation for legacy code

Auto-docs is a sophisticated AI-driven solution designed to automatically generate documentation for legacy codebases, addressing the challenge of decaying knowledge in evolving software projects. Developed by Swimm, it utilizes a deterministic approach to ensure accurate documentation by deeply analyzing code, thus eliminating inaccuracies typically associated with LLMs, such as hallucinations. This language-agnostic tool supports various programming languages, including COBOL and FORTRAN, and offers customizable outputs tailored to organizational needs. Auto-docs enhances enterprise documentation by providing developers with detailed insights and high-level overviews, integrating seamlessly with tools like GitHub Copilot and generating visual aids like Mermaid diagrams. It operates locally for added security and is available as part of Swimm's enterprise plans, offering features like integration with existing tools, automatic updates, and contextualized AI chat.
