Ask HN: As an eng leader, how useful is AI-generated internal documentation?

Hi HN! This past weekend, I built a tool called GitSummarize, it's an open-source ai-powered documentation tool. Given any public GitHub repository it generates high-quality documentation from the codebase using Gemini 2.5 Pro. Specifically, it tries to extract the tribal knowledge, business logic/rules embedded within codebases. Pro Tip: You can replace "hub" with "summarize" in any repository URL to access its documentation. I created this because there was a steep learning curve to understanding some of the open-source codebases out there while getting started with contributing. Having detailed documentation would have been super helpful in those situations. This project was heavily inspired by GitIngest and GitDiagram so make sure to check those out as well! Give it a try and I would appreciate any feedback! Would also love to know how useful this would be to developers or engineering leaders for their teams?
