Excerpts where Swimm appeared in the AI's answer

Swimm or DocuWriter.ai: If you want to move beyond rigid API parameter blocks into explanatory architecture and internal docs, these tools connect to your GitHub repository and flag "doc drift" or draft updates when code changes.

Swimm uses a "code-coupled" approach, tying documentation directly to code paths so that if code changes break a documented flow, it flags the drift immediately.
