Inspiration
I was building Browzer, docs builder for browser tasks that let users record a task once and generate docs that self healed. We noticed that most of our customers were devrels using our tool to automate the process of creating product guides. When I spoke to them, I realized that most of them used Mintlify as their docs tool but weren't happy with the quality. Besides, Mintlify had drawbacks, it generated docs but felt sloppy, didn't have automate live app doc generation and didn't do anything content based for devrels. DevRels wanted to automate docs & content workflows because they wanted to do more IRL DevRel (hackathons, events).
That's when I decided that I wanted to build Browzer to be an AI native DevRel studio that handles all docs and technical content (blogs, cookbooks, quickstarts, demo videos), so DevRels can focus more on community building, hackathons and more top-of-the-funnel tasks to bring new devs to use their products.
All Docs & Content are SEO & GEO optimized too and are highly effective for DX & AX too.
What it does
Browzer lets users connect their github repos with one click. After connecting 1 (or more) repo(s), Browzer generates docs for your repos which are then available in a hosted-for-you website, with branding closely linked to your company. The docs are auto-updated when changes are merged into your codebase's main branch(es).
You can also generate content on the fly like video demos, blogs, cookbooks. All you do it enter a prompt and hit enter, and Browzer generates the content of your choice. Content (cookbooks & quickstarts) also self heal as new changes hit your main branch(es).
Every code snippet in docs & content is verified by running unit tests and e2e tests within a Daytona Sandbox. So you can stay rest assured that things work!
We use Elevenlabs for the voiceover on the demo videos.
How we built it
Claude code & constant prompting lol
Challenges we ran into
- Video generation was tricky - we have hardcoded templates + some dynamic components to make videos feel fresh, but still it feels redundant. Need to improve on the dynamic video generation templates.
- Docs are expensive to create - an avg. site of 100 docs costs $15 to create now. We need to come up with better cost optimizations.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Got a working product for Browzer that does all devrel
- Quality is 10% better than Mintlify docs (in 9/10 cases)
- Video generation turned out to be better than I thought
What we learned
- Easy to build, hard to optimize!
What's next for Browzer
Get more customers, reduce costs, improve quality
