Automatically generate documentation for your automations

Automatically writes clear documentation for every step in an automation, so it stays easy to understand later.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each step in the automation.

The problem it solves

Automations that made perfect sense while you were building them turn into a mystery a few months later. Writing up documentation after the fact takes time you'd rather spend elsewhere, so it usually just doesn't happen.

Who it fits

Operations teams and agencies who build and maintain automations and want them easy to hand off or revisit later.

How it works

  1. You point the automation to an existing automation file
  2. It reads through every step and what each one is configured to do
  3. AI writes a short explanatory note for each step
  4. AI also writes an overview note covering the overall goal and flow
  5. A new, documented version of the automation is saved for you to use
What you get

Automations anyone on your team understands

You get a written explanation for every step of your automations, making them easy for anyone on your team to understand and hand off.

What you get

A fully annotated copy of your automation, with a note on every step and an overall summary.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and your existing automation files.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
