Snorkell

What is Snorkell?

Snorkell is an AI tool that automatically generates docstrings for multiple programming languages. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, creating and updating documentation each time a pull request is merged so docs stay in sync with the code. Generated docstrings can be reviewed and corrected through pull requests, and the tool prioritizes output that is easy for humans to read rather than purely technical, syntactic text. It was developed by a team with roots in AI technology.
