You didn't "build an AI". It's more like you wrote a prompt.

I wonder why all examples are from projects with great docs already so it doesn't even need to read the actual code.

That's good, though there's tons of docstrings. In my experience LLM completely make no sense from undocumented code.

Fair, there are tons of docstrings. I have had the opposite experience with LLMs explaining code, so I am biased towards assuming this works. I'm keen to try it and see.
