Can askFinz draft documentation from my actual codebase?

Yes. The Code workspace's assistant reads your project and can answer questions about what it actually does, which you can turn into a first draft grounded in the real code rather than an assumption about it.

Can it check how similar problems have been documented or answered elsewhere?

Yes. Search reaches public question-and-answer threads and documentation, so you can see how a similar problem has been explained before drafting your own version.

Does it keep old versions of a doc when I revise it?

Yes. Docs filed to storage are versioned, so a rewrite branches from a stable base and an earlier version stays recoverable.

Use case · For docs & platform teams

AI for technical documentation that reads the codebase.

Turn what your code actually does into the doc, instead of what you remember it doing. Ask the assistant in the IDE, check how the same question has been answered in public threads, and file the draft to versioned storage so a rewrite never overwrites the accepted version.

What you can do

Four moves, one workspace.

01
Draft from the actual code
Ask the assistant about your codebase in the IDE and turn its answer into a first draft of the doc, grounded in what the code does today.
02
Check how it's already been answered
Search across public Q&A threads for how others have solved the same problem, so a doc addresses the question people actually ask.
03
Research the edge cases
Open a notebook to pull in the relevant release notes or specs a doc needs to reference, with each claim linked to its source.
04
Keep docs versioned
File the draft to storage with version history, so a rewrite branches from a stable base instead of overwriting the last accepted version.

Example workflows

What it looks like end to end.

Flow 01

API doc from the code

Ask the assistant in the IDE what an endpoint actually does, draft the reference doc from that answer, and check public Q&A for the question it doesn't yet cover — a first draft grounded in the real code, not a guess from the function name.

Flow 02

Migration guide

Research the spec or release notes behind a breaking change in a notebook, draft the migration guide with citations, and file it to storage alongside the version it applies to.
