# generated — do not edit
Your agents write the docs.
You never take a bite.
One living overview per project, rewritten on every push, in plain language anyone on the team can read. No edit button — not hidden, not for admins, not anywhere.
Connect a repo
GitHub app, pick a repository, done. The first overview writes itself — or your own agent writes it over MCP.
It keeps up on its own
Every push rewrites it from the diff, server-side, on your own key. Cents, not credits — your provider bills you directly. Running your own GitHub alternative? One step in your pipeline, nothing to install.
Share it with anyone
Plain view for clients, public or passphrase-locked links, and warnings when a dependency goes risky or EOL.
Or let us bake the first one, free
No install, no account, no key, no card. Hand us a public repository and we'll run our own agent over it and email you the result — usually within 12 hours, at the outside 24. You read the real output before deciding anything.
public repos only · two emails, ever · 1 ahead of you
Why it can't go stale
Every other docs tool loses the same way: a human edits a page, the code moves on, and the page quietly becomes a lie. Here the page is a build artifact, like a lockfile. There is no edit button — not hidden, not for admins, not anywhere.
Something reads wrong? You don't fix the text. Hide the statement or leave a note, and the next rewrite accounts for it. You steer; you never touch.
the honest scoreboard
These are three different things. DeepWiki auto-generates a developer wiki from a repository. Mintlify and GitBook are documentation websites you author, with navigation, search and a component library. DoNotEdit is one always-current overview per project — no navigation, no search, nothing to author. That difference runs through every row below, including the ones we lose.
| DoNotEdit | DeepWiki | Mintlify | GitBook | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price for AI-maintained docs | Free | Free for public repos | $450–$540/mo — the free tier has no AI at all | $65–$249 per site/mo |
| Cost of one automatic update | your provider's rate, no markup — a few cents | Free | 180 credits ≈ $1.80 | bundled allowance |
| Charged per person who reads or edits | Never | No | No | $12 per user/mo |
| Rewrites itself when the code moves | Every push | Days behind, and refreshing asks for your email | When a pull request merges | No — it syncs a content repo, not your code |
| Pages can be hand-edited | No — that's the point | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Plain-language view for non-technical readers | Yes | No — engineering prose | — | — |
| Vulnerability and end-of-life warnings | Yes, rechecked daily | — | — | — |
| Remove the vendor's branding | Free | — | Enterprise | Enterprise |
| Custom domain | Planned | No | Yes, every tier | Paid tiers |
| Works if you host your own Git server | Yes — Forgejo, Gitea, GitLab, anything | Not offered | Cloud or Enterprise | Cloud or Enterprise |
| API reference with copyable call examples | Yes — curl, Python, JS, PHP, read from your code | — | Yes — from an OpenAPI spec you maintain | Yes — from an OpenAPI spec you maintain |
| Covers agent tools and commands, not just HTTP | Yes | — | — | — |
Competitor pricing and behaviour read off their own pages, July 2026. If you need a documentation website, Mintlify and GitBook are good at that; if you want a developer wiki for a public repository and nothing else, DeepWiki is free and instant.
What it costs
Free. Unlimited projects, unlimited people reading them, docs that rewrite themselves on every push, dependency warnings, public and private sharing. The AI runs on your own provider key at their price — we add nothing to it and never see your bill.
Two things we won't do: meter your AI usage, or charge for the people who read your docs. Not promises about the future — just how the product is built.
