Komment is an end-to-end documentation engine that plugs into git workflows and automatically generates sophisticated software documentation at user-configured git events.
Think of it as continuous integration but for docs — just hook up a git repo and watch Komment keep it freshly documented.
You can access the generated docs any time by heading over to your private Docs Hub in the Komment dashboard.
You can currently use Komment to generate in-code comments, API docs and interactive dependency graphs. Support for interface descriptions, architecture diagrams, changelogs and data flow graphs is under development.
If your business needs a specific kind of documentation not yet on our roadmap, let us know and we'll make it happen!
Komment currently documents code in Java, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript. Support for C#, Ruby and Terraform is under development.
Dev PlatformsKomment integrates seamlessly with GitHub, repos and adapters for GitLab and BitBucket are planned for release in Q3 2024.

Traditional software documentation tools primarily provide prettifying layers that simply extract existing comments written by developers and collate them in user-friendly interfaces — but developers are still responsible for writing the documentation themselves.
In contrast, Komment is a bonafide documentation generator that will produce a broad range of sophisticated technical docs for your code without you lifting a finger.
Komment is a hands-free solution that puts your software documentation on autopilot.
Komment heavily leverages purpose-built algorithms, deterministic static analyses and multi-layer quality assurance to generate the best in-class output for technical documentation.
Our rules-based approach to leveraging AI in production settings offers far superior performance over generic off-the-shelf LLMs. We also regularly run benchmarks against our output to continuously monitor reliability and performance.
Fun fact — Komment's own code repos are documented by Komment as well!
Absolutely! Komment can produce documentation for a wide variety of software, including legacy codebases. You can use Komment to process decades-old systems with just as much proficiency as code developed this morning.
No, your development workflow will remain exactly the same! Komment is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing CI/CD workflows to generate fresh documentation behind the scenes.
Inline comments added by Komment are issued as any other Pull Request in your git repository. Just hook up your project and watch Komment keep it freshly documented — without ever getting in your way.
Documentation produced by Komment can be accessed at any time in your private Docs Hub.
No, Komment offers a 100% guarantee to never modify, break or otherwise compromise any portion of your codebase. All inline text insertions are run through a rigorous multi-layer quality assurance algorithm to ensure the integrity of your software at all times.
Komment keeps your organization’s software docs consistent, accurate and always updated. Our customers use Komment to:
From developers and product managers to engineering leadership and IT security, Komment's output delivers immediate value to a diverse range of roles and levels across the board.
Komment is incredibly simple to set up and works silently in the background without dependence on the manual actions of your team. A one-off live demo or a 10-minute pre-recorded video is usually sufficient to get teams up to speed and get started with Komment.
Contact us for a demo and see how Komment can put documentation on autopilot for your org.
Komment generates a diverse variety of doc types that deliver value to not just individual developers, but also adjacent roles like product managers, engineering leadership, IT security, QA, compliance and even finance controllers.
Whether you're a product manager looking for API docs that accelerate user conversion, an engineer looking for inline comments for comprehensive technical explanations, or a director looking for architecture diagrams that clarify your security posture — Komment has you covered.
More than 90% of our product roadmap is driven by direct customer feedback. Let us know what types of technical documentation are most important to you and we'll make it happen!
No, we never share any code or customer data with third-party services. All data crunching occurs strictly within the confines of our VPC deployment.
For organizations with enhanced security needs, Komment Enterprise supports fully self-contained on-premises deployments that ensure no code ever leaves their private mainframe.

Output from LLM-based chatbots needs manual curation by individual developers, which means:
In comparison, Komment provides teams with a central portal to reliably produce, search, view and share all their technical docs with minimal dependence on individual users. And all this happens within the confines of their own infrastructure!
With Komment, the time that you spend on writing documentation is truly saved — not simply reallocated to assessing, modifying and supervising AI output.
Komment's pipelines are fully automated and all code is crunched without any humans in the loop. We never share your code or data externally with any third-parties, and operate completely independent of AI service vendors.
We also have a zero retention policy for all customer code and related intellectual property. We only ever store metadata about projects for reporting usage statistics in the Insights panel of your Komment dashboard.
