Stenography

Stenography is an artificial intelligence-powered code documentation platform and developer API engineered to eliminate undocumented codebases and accelerate software engineering onboarding. Designed for software engineers, engineering managers, open-source maintainers, and technical writers, the software automatically translates complex programming logic into accessible, plain-English explanations that anyone can understand.

The platform integrates directly into developer workflows via an intuitive API, a Visual Studio Code extension, and automated GitHub action workflows. When code is committed or inspected, Stenography parses the abstract syntax tree and generates structured docstrings, function summaries, and inline comments detailing function inputs, outputs, and business logic. The system supports multiple programming languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C++, and Go across distributed developer teams.

Stenography operates as a cloud-based developer service accessible via web dashboard, CLI tools, and IDE extensions. The platform provides a free tier granting introductory monthly API invocation credits alongside tiered monthly subscriptions tailored for individual developers, open-source projects, and enterprise engineering departments.
