AIGNE DocSmith is a locally run AI documentation generator for developers and teams turning project material into guides and reference documents. The Node.js app stores its workspace and generated files locally, but generation requires Anthropic or another LLM provider configuration. Requests to a remote provider send project context to that service; local installation doesn't mean offline inference.

Before writing documents, it analyzes the project's content and proposes an audience, use cases and documentation scope. You can revise those assumptions and review the planned hierarchy, including each document's title and source files. Generation starts after you approve the structure, so you can remove unnecessary pages or change their scope before it produces the text.

DocSmith accepts code repositories, text files and media resources. It produces structured Markdown for API references, technical explanations, user guides, tutorials and product documentation. A separate documentation workspace can draw on multiple local projects and cloned repositories without putting the documentation inside one codebase.

Translation and localization include language-specific document structures and synchronization between language versions. It can generate documentation images and edit or update them in batches, with a corresponding image provider API key required. Site building and publishing to multiple platforms are also supported.

DocSmith uses the Aigne Framework to coordinate its documentation agents and carries the Elastic-2.0 license.
