You’ve probably heard of DevinAI’s new release, DeepWiki-a tool that analyzes GitHub repos and generates AI-powered documentation. The catch? It reportedly cost $300K in compute and is locked behind a paywall.

I thought: why not make this accessible to everyone?

Introducing Open DeepWiki: An open-source, self-hosted alternative that turns any GitHub repo into a comprehensive wiki with AI-generated docs, architecture diagrams, and code explanations. No cloud lock-in, no paywalls, just local, private analysis.

Features:

AI-generated documentation (supports GPT, Gemini, and local models)

Visual diagrams (using Mermaid.js)

Codebase Q&A with RAG-powered AI

Works with private repos, runs entirely on your machine

How does it handle updates to the code?

You can simply flush the localDB and it will reindex again.
