Christmas came early for developers. Google launched CodeWiki 🚀

It's a tool that keeps your entire codebase and documentation perfectly in sync. 

No stale docs. No guessing. The wiki literally updates itself with every change. 

🔄📚 The best part?
 
You’re not chatting with a generic model. 

You’re talking to an AI that actually understands your repo end-to-end. 🧠💻

Every answer links directly to the exact file, class, or function it's referring to. 

Jump from explanation ➝ implementation in one click. ⚡️

It ingests public repos and generates a fully interactive wiki for each one. High-level concepts on top. 

Code-level details underneath. All connected. 🔗


Stuck on a complex module?
 
Ask the Gemini-powered chat and get context-aware answers tied directly to your source code. 💬✨

And when text isn’t enough, CodeWiki auto-creates always-current architecture, class, and sequence diagrams so you can see how your system fits together. 🗺️📐

This is the closest thing to having a living, 
breathing map of your entire codebase.

For My Ai Nerds:
