Code to help docs

Generate help articles from your codebase in seconds

Your documentation goes out of date the moment you release a new feature. Ferndesk connects to your GitHub repository to create and maintain a help center that's always in sync with your product.

For most SaaS companies, documentation is a losing battle. The pressure to ship features means docs are an afterthought; often inaccurate, incomplete, or simply nonexistent.

Fern solves this by reading your codebase and creating docs that are always in sync with your product.

How Ferndesk Works

From Source Code to Self-Service

Ferndesk acts as an AI agent with access to your codebase, analyzing it just like a developer would to produce clear, user-facing documentation.

Bootstrap Your Help Center

Document Your Entire App in Hours, Not Months

Point Ferndesk at your repositories and let our Codebase Navigator agent perform a deep analysis. It scans your routes, UI components, and API definitions to generate comprehensive, foundational articles about how your product works, from a user's perspective.

Living Documentation

Keep Your Docs in Sync with Every Pull Request

Ferndesk's Release Notes agent monitors your commit history and pull requests. When a user-facing change is merged, it automatically understands the impact and suggests a documentation update or drafts a new article for the feature. Your help center becomes a living, self-updating resource.

Just ask fern

Human-smart, machine-fast

Fern can make changes to your help center as a human would. Just tell Fern what changes you'd like to make and she'll handle the rest.
