- Let the AI do its magic!
Key Features
- Support for both local (Ollama) and cloud (Gemini) AI providers

- Generates complete README including installation, usage, and features
Why I Built This
I wanted to create a tool that would make this process easier and more efficient. With AutoReadMe AI, you can generate a professional README in seconds, allowing you to focus on what you do best - coding.
This is the first version of AutoReadMe AI, with many more features planned for future releases and improving the overall quality of generated documentation!
