Well that’s a terrible premise. AI can’t get at design decisions or anything that’s not explicitly encoded in code, but still connected. The “why” is extremely valuable.

One of the creators of greptile here. We are retiring this concept (it’s not part of our new landing page which should be out this month). You’re right, good docs contain the “why”. Our premise was most docs are tech companies are bad, so Greptile is 0 effort and rests squarely in-between bad docs and good docs. That was not how it was interpreted by most people, understandably.
