Docucod recently launched!

Launch YC: Docucod 🐟 Automatically generate and maintain your project documentation

‍

"Write code, not documentation. Docucod auto-creates and updates docs from your codebase and PRs—so your team stays focused on shipping."

‍

TL;DR: Docucod automatically generates and maintains complete, always-up-to-date documentation—straight from your codebase.

Founded by Hemang Kandwal & Anguel Hristozov‍‍

Hello world 🏄 meet Hemang and Anguel from Clidey. They are building Docucod!

‍

💯 Who Are The Founders and Why Did They Build This?

They’re Hemang and Anguel—friends, builders, and longtime hackathon teammates. After years working at places like Palantir, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley, the founders saw one issue everywhere: documentation gets rushed, postponed, or skipped—and the fallout is always the same.

They built Docucod because this isn’t a people problem—it’s a systems problem. The fix isn’t better habits. It’s automation.

Hemang and Anguel are here to make documentation sexy again.

‍

❗ What is the problem?

On average, developers spend 20–30% of their time maintaining documentation—and that doesn’t even include the time it takes to create it in the first place. That’s nearly 12 hours in a standard 40-hour week, often more if you're part of a fast-growing team.

Most tools are still manual and time-consuming, stealing hours better spent building, selling, or scaling.

Great documentation isn’t just helpful—it’s a growth engine. Look at Stripe: their docs earn trust and convert users.

The truth? At most companies, documentation is an afterthought (the founders haven’t written theirs yet either!) And they get it—“documentation specialist” usually isn’t on anyone’s job title.

‍

💡 What is the solution?

Docucod auto-generates and maintains always-up-to-date documentation—straight from your codebase. You continue building, Docucod will focus on the documentation.

It fits effortlessly into your workflow, whether you’re a small team or managing complex repos.

From onboarding guides to API references and system diagrams, Docucod delivers clear, comprehensive docs with zero manual work.

Fully editable and always in sync, it lets you ship fast and document well—without compromise.

‍

🧠 How it works:

  • Connect your GitHub account and select a repo.
  • Docucod scans your repo to understand its structure and functionality, building an intelligent knowledge graph that maps out components, features, code flow, and so on.
  • It creates a structured documentation plan, outlining sections, navigation, and individual pages.
  • Docucod generates rich content with diagrams and contextual clarity.
  • Finally, it automatically pushes the documentation back to your repo for deployment.
