Digibee announced the addition of AI-based documentation to its integration platform.

The AI Generator for Pipeline Documentation will be generally available on Nov. 6.

The AI Generator for Pipeline Documentation saves significant time and effort that would otherwise be spent manually creating and maintaining documentation. It ensures the clarity and understanding of integration processes for technical and business team members, aiding in maintenance, collaboration and compliance. It analyzes the pipeline configuration fields, data mappings, transformations, components and connections; it then generates detailed documentation that describes how the integration works, what data is being transferred, the logic applied, and any associated dependencies, and provides diagrams to illustrate the flows and subflows.

“Digibee is dedicated to not only successfully enabling our customers’ digital transformation initiatives, but also to expediting them and enhancing transparency with AI-based documentation,” said Digibee co-founder and CTO Peter Kreslins. “Our incorporation of AI-based documentation, combined with low-code development and cloud-native infrastructure, strengthens our mission to simplify complex enterprise integrations and help customers excel in today’s rapidly changing digital environment.”

The features of the AI Generator for Pipeline Documentation include:

- Flow description: automatic generation of a clear and concise description of the integration. In situations where complex integrations lacked documentation, developers previously had to invest days in deciphering and understanding these intricate systems.

- Trigger specification: precise details on how the integration will be triggered, minimizing errors and ensuring smooth integration operations.

- External connections: automatic listing of all the systems integrated into the pipeline, providing a complete picture of the integration ecosystem.

- Events mapping: listing of all events sent within the pipeline, making it easy to track data flow and potential issues, and to understand what other pipelines are being triggered by a pipeline. This level of insight into interdependencies between pipelines can significantly enhance the overall management and coordination of integrated systems.

- Globals (global variables) identification: ensures that developers have a clear understanding of variable usage, which helps prevent accidental misuse of global variables for more reliable integrations.

- Accounts (credential access) identification: documents accounts and credential access, promoting best practices for security and compliance.

Future features may include flow diagram generation, change tracking, integration testing and optimization.

The AI Generator for Pipeline Documentation vastly reduces the time and effort required to create documentation and also improves its quality and accuracy, delivering a great experience for teams that depend on it. The AI-driven approach frees technical experts from the arduous task of manual documentation, allowing them to channel their expertise toward more strategic and innovation-focused activities.
