Actually, you might find this interesting: we wrote a blog post a while back about how we gave our agent a way to voice its suffering. The first example is from the screenshot upda…

Funnily enough, one of our early users (a solo technical writer) told us that the biggest value he got from Promptless was just finding out when the engineering team forgot to tell…

Yep. You give Promptless access to a test account and it navigates and interacts with your product to capture new/updated screenshots. Here's an example from our own docs, where yo…

Hi HN! I'm Prithvi—my co-founder Frances and I launched Promptless almost a year ago here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43092522 ). It's an AI teammate that watches your w…

tl;dr. I'm one of the founders of Promptless, the AI agent that automatically updates docs. 12 months ago, we decided to give our agent a tool to let it "scream" when it was strugg…

A (charitable) interpretation of this is that the model understands "stuff that would embarrass Anthropic" to just be code for "bad/unhelpful/offensive behavior". e.g. guiding agai…

Promptless tries to check its generated docs against other sources to identify errors, but there are also some very cool documentation testing tools that we might integrate in the …

Happy to clarify! There are two main ways people are using the Slack integration: (1) You click the Promptless Slack message action (video below) on a thread that might warrant a d…

Forgot to post: link to try Promptless out right now is https://gopromptless.ai/hn

Thank you!

Yeah, even with lots of full-time resources, companies' documentation regularly fall out of date. It's particularly ubiquitous in AI just because of how fast the general space is c…

Thank you!

We're still seeing new customers use Promptless in new ways (hence pricing can be a bit bespoke sometimes). But for our standard use-case, the number of docs pages (crude proxy for…

Totally. My cofounder and I are very excited about this idea. Sort of a primitive version of this, but one Promptless user is using it to update in-app tutorials for various integr…

Yes, Promptless already has the ability to be triggered from Slack channels (e.g. Slack Connect support channels with customers). Discord likely coming later this week or early nex…

Yeah, this is very valid. We opened up a self-service trial this week so that people can more easily give it a spin before deciding to join a paid plan, but we're still working on …

Yeah, great question! The earliest quantitative measurements people make are around how much time is being saved, but people are also measuring deflection rates in AI support chatb…

Exactly. I think lots of people tend to underestimate how much documentation is out there. When I started working on Promptless, I assumed it was dominated by things like API docs …

Very cool. Will reach out soon!

Love this! Those people are definite force multipliers, but the fact that they're rare can end up putting a lot of burden on their shoulders. And yes, I definitely overgeneralized—…

Yes, absolutely! Someone mentioned a similar situation where they had 100+ integration-specific landing pages in webflow (mostly for SEO) that became stale within months. Definitel…

Hmm, are you thinking about this in the context of, say, code documentation in Github repos, like README.md files? Or are there types of internal docs that you typically see in mar…

If you're asking about when there are new commits on the source code after a PR is opened, yes that's what happens! It just updates the existing docs branch. If you're asking if Pr…

For sure. It can be challenging to inculcate a culture of treating docs as a product, but since great docs can drive revenue growth and bad docs can increase churn, it's a very imp…
