Stenography is a smart codebase documentation tool created by Bram Adams, an OpenAI Developer Ambassador and GPT-3 O'Reilly Media Instructor. The platform combines state-of-the-art AI technology (OpenAI Codex) with code parsing techniques to create an intelligent documenter that fits naturally into developer workflows and decreases cognitive load. The tool uses a powerful API that can analyze code and respond with explanations in plain English, along with Stack Overflow suggestions and linked documentation. Stenography features both a parsing layer for identifying complex blocks of code and an interpretation layer that generates human-readable explanations. The platform prioritizes privacy by using a passthrough API that does not store any code. Stenography integrates seamlessly into developer workflows through multiple extensions: a Visual Studio Code extension that automatically documents entire codebases every time you save, and a Chrome extension that can access and document any code found on the web. The tool provides real-time code analysis, automated text generation, code formatting, and syntax highlighting. Launched as the #1 product of the day on Product Hunt, Stenography offers 250 free monthly invocations. Paid tiers start at $10/month for 1,000 invocations, including Chrome Extension, populated documentation, explanations, Stack Overflow search, suggestions, and API access. The $20/month tier provides 2,500 invocations and early access to new features. For teams requiring more than 100,000 invocations, custom pricing and team support are available.
