AutomaDocs creates and updates documentation for GitHub repositories as code changes are pushed. It can produce README files, API references, function notes, architecture overviews, and getting-started guides. Its AI chat answers plain-language questions about a codebase and cites relevant files and functions. JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python receive deep Tree-sitter parsing; Claude AI can analyze other languages directly. GitHub OAuth and webhooks connect repositories, and documentation can be used with Claude Code and Cursor through MCP. Users can edit generated pages, which the service says it preserves and merges with AI updates. Health scores measure the percentage of functions with documentation: 80% or more is green, while below 40% is red. The Free plan covers one repository and 50 AI chat messages per month. Pro costs 39.00 USD per month, billed Billed $470/year. Managed cloud is the default, with Docker Compose and setup scripts available for self-hosting. The listed outputs include hosted pages, Markdown export, and a REST API.
