Introduction
Real-time code discussion and automatic documentation creation.
Doclin Product Information
Doclin is a real-time code discussion and copilot tool designed to streamline engineering collaboration and documentation. It enables developers to comment on and discuss code in real time, automatically builds a knowledge base from ongoing discussions, and keeps documentation up to date as code evolves. It emphasizes privacy by not requiring access to your Git repository and promises upcoming AI-assisted features to enhance understanding of complex code and business logic.
Key Capabilities
- Real-time code discussion and commenting with cloud-stored discussions to prevent git clutter.
- Automatic knowledge base creation from ongoing code discussions, minimizing manual documentation effort.
- Rich text editor for enhanced, in-context documentation directly within code discussions.
- Automatic updates to documentation when the code changes, ensuring documentation stays current.
- No access to your Git repository required; no storage of sensitive repository data.
- Upcoming Copilot integration to assist with understanding complex code and business logic via AI-powered guidance.
How to Use Doclin
- Open a codebase or project and start a real-time discussion on specific code blocks.
- Leave detailed explanations using the rich text editor to augment understanding for teammates.
- Allow Doclin to generate and maintain a knowledge base as discussions occur, reducing manual write-ups.
- Observe automatic documentation updates as code evolves to reflect the latest state.
Use Cases
- Real-time collaboration on debugging sessions and code reviews.
- Automatic generation of project documentation and runbooks from developer discussions.
- Continuous alignment between code changes and documentation without extra manual steps.
- Non-intrusive, privacy-conscious collaboration that does not require git access.
Safety and Privacy Considerations
- No access to your Git repository is required, and sensitive repository information is not stored by Doclin.
- Discussions and generated knowledge bases are stored in the cloud; ensure appropriate access controls align with your organization’s policies.
