AI Documentation Assistant for Chrome

Write and improve technical documentation faster with Prophet. Generate API docs, user guides, and README files from code and specs in your browser.

Why documentation slows you down today

Writing clear technical documentation is time-consuming and often deprioritized in favor of shipping features.

Keeping documentation in sync with code changes requires reviewing every update and manually updating the corresponding docs.

Explaining complex systems and APIs in a way that is accessible to different audiences demands strong technical writing skills.

Onboarding new team members suffers when documentation is incomplete, outdated, or scattered across multiple locations.

How Prophet changes documentation

Generates structured documentation from code, API responses, and technical specifications visible in your browser.

Creates user guides, API references, and tutorials based on the source code or documentation pages you are viewing.

Improves existing documentation by identifying gaps, unclear sections, and outdated information on any docs page.

Adapts documentation style and complexity level for different audiences, from developers to end users.

What Prophet actually does for documentation

Prophet is not a chat box that reads pasted text. It works against the live page through Chrome, using the same browser tools every time. Here is the sequence for documentation, and the tools it calls at each stage.

1. Reads the code or interface being documented

Prophet extracts function signatures, parameters, and UI labels from the page so the documentation matches reality.

2. Walks a flow and writes it up

It can click through a sequence of screens and record each step, which is how you get an accurate how-to.

3. Drafts into your docs tool

The result is written into the Notion, Confluence, or Markdown editor you already have open.

Prompts to try for documentation

Open the Prophet side panel on a page where you would normally do documentation by hand, then paste one of these in.

“Generate API documentation for the endpoints described on this page with request and response examples.”

“Write a getting-started guide based on this README and the installation steps shown here.”

“Improve this documentation page by making it clearer and adding examples where concepts are explained without them.”

“Create a troubleshooting section based on the common issues discussed in this GitHub issues page.”

“Write inline code comments explaining the complex logic in this code snippet.”
