Automatically write documentation for your saved automation files

Reads saved automation files from Google Drive and uses AI to draft clean documentation, emailed straight to you.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per each automation file in folder.

The problem it solves

When you build out automations, someone still has to sit down and write clear documentation explaining what each one does. That writing takes real focus, and it's easy to let it slip when you're busy building the next thing. Undocumented automations become a headache later when someone else needs to understand or maintain them.

Who it fits

Agencies and teams that build and maintain a library of automations for clients or internal use.

How it works

  1. You start the process for a folder of saved automation files
  2. The system finds and downloads each file from Google Drive
  3. AI reads the file's structure and drafts a title and description
  4. It formats the description in both Markdown and HTML
  5. It logs the details to a spreadsheet and emails you the finished write-up
What you get

Documentation drafts ready for your review

You get a drafted title and description for each saved automation, emailed to you and logged for easy reference.

What you get

A polished description of each automation, delivered by email and logged in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Google Sheets account, an Azure OpenAI account, and Gmail.

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.
