Your Documentation Is Already Wrong
Software begins life aligned. Requirements match reality, documentation reflects behaviour, and user guides explain how things work.
Then the code changes.
The gap between what people think the system does and what it actually does grows over time. Requirements become assumptions. Documentation becomes archaeology. Support becomes the unofficial source of truth.
In this session, we explore how to close that gap by treating the codebase as the source of truth. The your system can continuously regenerate technical documentation, rewrite user guides, update an integrated help chatbot, capture the questions users ask, and feed those insights back into the product lifecycle as potential requirements.
This is more than self-documenting code. It is software that explains itself, learns from itself, and helps shape what gets built next.
The future isn't just self-healing and self-securing software.
It's self-building software.
