I am curious how you prevent private data from getting leaked to the auto-generated public docs. I imagine this problem does not exist in open source projects, but would become an issue if not everything discussed in company's private messenger should be used as context for generating docs.

Re: Launch HN: Promptless (YC W25) – Automatic updates for customer-facing docs
#12I'm curious, does it get triggered when a PR is opened or when it is merged? Because if it is when it is opened, updates to the PR could still get made which I assume would cause updates to the doc changes. Also, what if 2 PRs are opened at the same time? What if a PR is opened but never merged?
Honestly, some of these workflow points are areas that we're probably going to adjust and add more configuration around. For example, some folks with very high commit velocity are asking for a "daily digest" docs PR from Promptless instead of individual docs PRs.

#13This is really cool, congrats on launch! I am curious how you prevent private data from getting leaked to the auto-generated public docs.

#16I must be weird ;)
I would be OK with AI doing it as long as it is more like dependabot and asks for a PR like everyone else.
Untruths is the biggest issue but then docs mislead anyway due to getting out of date.
