Ha, this is funny (also sad for me because I failed to explain on website clearly) because you have described exactly what it does as an example of what it can't do.

The core loop is more like a truffle-hunting pig than a ghostwriter. Promptless watches for signal that your product is behaving differently from the live documentation. It watches PRs opened/merging, Slack threads, support tickets. Then like a pig alerting on a truffle it shows up like "hey, this section over here doesn't match what the code/product does anymore."

Now of course we'll also generate a first draft of a suggested fix, but I want to say 40% of tech writers just like knowing when things changed.

Its a proper union find algorithm, where every suggestion links back to the source that triggered it, but multiple source do get linked up to just a single canonical suggestion. So you don't get duplicate alerts if people keep talking for weeks about a fix going out in the next release.

Obviously I've got some more work to do on the website again but c'est la vie.
