Hello HN, We previously launched Auto Wiki (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38915999 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38915999) in Jan 2024 and broke the ground for AI generated wikis that explain your code. Now this product has been rebuilt by the same team, as well as others and launched as a part of Google. Hope you enjoy. Although, I've recently moved on to working on Gemini and AI research, I'm still involved as an advisor and founder emeritus of sorts. This team moves extremely fast and while we don't have full availability yet, we're working hard on addressing some early feedback before we make it more widely available including for private repos. Personally, I think the NotebookLM integration is a nice touch and distinguishing factor that we could only do as Google. I hope you enjoy. Thank You, Omar (Formerly Founder/CEO MutableAI)

Ok so it was acquired and merged into that google offering? Does this mean we lost the open source nature and ability to preserve and protect our data?

  Without snark, delete all instances of your code from github or similar places.

    If they choose to publish no-truth-value garbage about my life's work I will f**ing shred them with words. This project and the whole philosophy behind it is just dripping with disrespect so you won't find me in line to be polite to the people who made it. If they're going to walk over and chunder their lukewarm slop onto me they can expect a verbal fistfight. I opt out

  There is no data carried over from Mutable if that's what you're referring to. Please refer to the final email sent to users which I don't have access to.

    Can you email me at the email in my HN profile so I can clarify what I mean by opt-out in more detail?

So this isn’t a one time thing; you have a pattern of using the word “wiki” to describe products that have nothing to do with wikis? Seems fitting that someone who doesn’t care about correct meaning would work on misinformation slop generators. You’ve truly found your calling in life.
