WalkThru: The AI Knowledge Engine for Your Codebase
Stop chasing answers. Start building with a codebase that documents and explains itself.
WalkThru is more than just a documentation tool; it's an AI-powered knowledge engine that builds a deep, semantic understanding of your code. It answers the why, when, and how your product is built by turning your repository into a living, self-explaining knowledge layer.
With WalkThru, you can eliminate outdated wikis, reduce shoulder taps, and onboard new developers in record time. Focus on building, not deciphering.
1. Generate Your Codebase Wiki in Minutes
Go from zero to comprehensive documentation, instantly. WalkThru analyzes your entire repository—its logic, structure, and interdependencies—to generate a complete codebase wiki. Achieve over 90% documentation coverage automatically, creating a foundational knowledge base for the entire team.
- Whole-Repo Analysis: Understands the full context, not just isolated files.
- High-Coverage Docs: Instantly creates documentation for classes, functions, and modules.
- Jumpstart Knowledge: Perfect for legacy codebases or starting new projects right.
2. Keep Documentation Perfectly in Sync, Automatically
Stale documentation is worse than no documentation. WalkThru’s Auto-sync feature acts as a guardian for your knowledge. When you refactor a function, change a variable, or update a class, WalkThru detects the change and automatically updates the corresponding documentation. Your docs are no longer a liability; they are a living, trustworthy asset.
- Code-Coupled: Docs are linked directly to the code they describe.
- Effortless Maintenance: Updates happen in the background. No manual work required.
- Build Trust: Ensure every developer can rely on the documentation they read.
3. Discover Knowledge Directly in Your Editor
Answers should find you. WalkThru brings relevant documentation directly into your workflow. As you navigate your code, you'll see clear indicators next to functions or classes that have WalkThru docs. Get the context you need without ever leaving your IDE, eliminating context switching and accelerating development.
- In-IDE Discovery: See doc indicators right in the gutter or on hover.
- Zero Context Switching: Read explanations and see examples without breaking your flow.
- Proactive Knowledge: Uncover critical information you didn't even know to ask for.
4. Visualize Complex Logic with AI-Powered Diagrams
Some concepts are best explained visually. Describe a user flow, a data process, or a complex feature, and WalkThru will generate a codebase-aware Mermaid diagram. It understands the actual implementation, allowing it to create accurate visualizations that untangle complexity and align your team.
- Text-to-Diagram: Generate diagrams from natural language prompts.
- Codebase-Aware: Diagrams are based on the real code, not abstract ideas.
- Clarify and Align: Perfect for architectural reviews, PR descriptions, and team planning.
Getting Started in 3 Simple Steps
- Connect Your Repository: Install the VS Code extension, sign up, and connect your repository (GitHub, GitLab, etc.). This gives WalkThru secure, read-only access to begin its work.
- Analyze & Ingest: WalkThru performs its initial analysis, building a dense knowledge graph of your entire codebase. This graph powers the engine's entire reasoning, allowing it to understand the what, how, and why of your code.
- Create & Discover: You're all set! Generate your first full-repo Wiki, create new documentation, and start seeing contextual knowledge appear directly in your editor.
All WalkThru documentation is stored as .wt.md files right in your Git repository. This means your knowledge is version-controlled, can be reviewed in pull requests, and always stays with your project.
Supported Languages and Technologies
- Universal Documentation: You can write and link manual docs for any programming language. If it's in a Git repo, you can document it with WalkThru.

- Python
- JavaScript
- TypeScript
- Java
- C/C++
- Kotlin
- Version Control: Requires Git.
Privacy and Security are Paramount
We understand that your code is your most valuable asset.
- Your Code Stays Yours: Your code and
.wt.md documentation files remain in your Git repository. WalkThru's cloud service only stores the necessary metadata to provide the experience.
- No AI Model Training: Your code is never used to train our or any third-party AI models. Period.
- Secure by Design: We are building towards industry-standard security certifications to ensure your data is always protected.
