> AI-generated documentation and architecture diagrams for public GitHub repositories

DeepWiki is an AI-powered documentation platform created by Cognition Labs that generates comprehensive overviews for public GitHub codebases. By swapping 'github.com' with 'deepwiki.com' in any repository URL, it creates interactive system architecture diagrams, module summaries, and an AI chat interface to inspect how a project works.
