What is DeepWiki?

DeepWiki, developed by Cognition Labs, is an innovative platform that transforms GitHub repositories into comprehensive, Wikipedia-like documentation using advanced AI. By analyzing code, README files, and configurations, it creates structured knowledge bases that help developers quickly grasp complex project architectures. The tool serves open-source contributors, software engineers, and students by providing clear explanations, interactive diagrams, and a conversational AI assistant. Its mission is to reduce the time and effort required to understand unfamiliar codebases, making software development more accessible and efficient. DeepWiki supports both public and private repositories, with free access for public ones and secure authentication for private ones. It has indexed over 50,000 repositories, processing billions of lines of code to empower developers worldwide.
