Doctective automatically detects when code changes break your documentation and analyzes every pull request to catch stale documentation before it ships. The platform builds a semantic map of your codebase and existing documentation to maintain accuracy.

Key features include automatic PR analysis for stale documentation, GitHub comments on affected documentation, semantic code-to-doc mapping, companion PR generation with suggested documentation updates, and AI-powered documentation updates that understand your codebase context. The system integrates with GitHub repositories and supports TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, SQL and other programming languages.

Doctective works by connecting to your GitHub repository and analyzing your code and existing documentation to build a semantic map. When code changes occur, it checks which documentation references the modified functions, APIs, or classes. The system then comments on PRs with exactly which docs need updating before code ships.

The product helps prevent documentation from going stale when code changes ship, reduces wasted time spent on outdated guides, and eliminates the need for manual documentation updates. It addresses issues where refactors invalidate existing references and API changes aren't reflected in documentation.

Doctective is built for modern engineering teams and integrates with existing workflows including GitHub. It offers enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 Type II compliance, end-to-end encryption, GDPR compliance, and self-hosted options with role-based access controls and audit logs.
