Updating docs suck, so I'm building GitHub AI agent

Hacker News

As developers, we love coding but I am just frustrated that nobody takes updating docs seriously. Docs like README, API references, SDK guides, tutorials etc. constantly get outdated. So I am building an Github AI agent that updates your docs automatically whenever your repo changes. This will work as follows: 1. You open a PR 2. The agent reviews the changed files and updates the relevant doc files if needed 3. The PR includes the updated documentation I’d really appreciate any feedback on this idea and any insights on how you're maintaining docs.
