I was inspired by a recent tweet by Andrej Karpathy, as well as my own experience copying and pasting a bunch of html docs into Claude yesterday and bemoaning how long-winded and poorly formatted it was.

I’m trying to decide if I should make it into a full-fledged service and completely automate the process of generating the distilled documentation.

Problem is that it would cost a lot in API tokens and wouldn’t generate any revenue (plus it would have to be updated as documentation changes significantly). Maybe Anthropic wants to fund it as a public good? Let me know!

Why does it need to cost a lot of tokens, and why can't it incrementally update?

How do the VS code integrated AI helpers do it?
