Pro dev team!

TLDR;

Dev teams are constantly battling outdated, hard-to-find documentation and chaotic knowledge silos.

  • WalkThru is here to fix that by automatically syncing your docs with your code using a patent-pending algorithm.

  • Focuses on the “why” behind the code, not just the “how”.

  • Aims to cut onboarding time by 50%, speed up feature delivery by 46%, and deliver up to 350% ROI in the first year.

  • Built to turn India into a hub for developer-first innovation.

  • No more sinking in broken documentation—sign up for the waitlist and start syncing.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

Here’s the thing: the bigger a company gets, the messier things become. Add a growing dev team, microservices, legacy code, and a couple of new hires into the mix, and suddenly everyone’s stuck in chaos.

We spoke to 30-40 developers and engineering managers while shaping WalkThru, and 95% of them had the same problem: broken documentation. It’s outdated, inconsistent, or impossible to find. Nearly 80% of them thought a tool like WalkThru could make life so much easier.

What Makes WalkThru Different?

WalkThru is not just a tool for writing docs. It’s a tool to keep your knowledge base alive—accurate, up-to-date, and accessible.

  • Automatic Syncing: With our patent-pending algorithm, your documentation syncs with your code automatically. No more guessing if a guide is outdated.

  • Context Matters: We don’t just help you document the “how” of your code; we focus on the “why” behind it.

  • Speed Wins: Our goal is ambitious but simple: help dev teams onboard 50% faster, ship features 46% quicker, and achieve up to 350% ROI in their first year of using WalkThru.

What WalkThru Solves

Imagine your front-end team updates a component but forgets to notify the back-end team. Weeks later, you’re about to deploy, and everything crashes.

With WalkThru, that doesn’t happen. Our tool tracks your code in real time, syncing every change with your documentation and notifying the right people instantly. It’s like having an extra team member who keeps everyone on the same page.

The “Oh, This Actually Works” Moment

One of our early users put it best: “With WalkThru, I don’t waste time hunting for answers. I know where everything is, and it’s always up to date.”

That’s what we’re here for—to let dev teams focus on shipping features instead of getting lost in documentation rabbit holes.

Why We’re Building This in India

India is home to some of the world’s best technical talent, yet we’ve never been a developer-first country. WalkThru aims to change that. We want to build a product that not only solves a global problem but also redefines India’s reputation as a hub for developer-first innovation.

Let’s WalkThru It Together

WalkThru isn’t just a tool; it’s a way to make dev teams more productive, efficient, and happy. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the chaos of broken documentation, sign up for our waitlist.

Because it’s time to stop sinking and start syncing.
