Proper documentation is essential for maintaining and collaborating on OutSystems projects, but manually filling in descriptions can be time-consuming and often overlooked.

I propose an AI-powered feature that automatically suggests descriptions for elements such as:

  • Variables
  • Actions
  • Screens
  • Blocks
  • Entities

The AI would analyze the element’s name, its usage in the code, and overall context to generate an accurate description. The developer would then simply accept or edit the suggestion, making the process faster and more efficient.

Benefits:

Time-saving documentation process – Developers can focus more on implementation and less on manually writing descriptions.

Standardization – Generated descriptions would follow a consistent and clear format, improving readability and maintainability.

Better collaboration – Teams can quickly understand the purpose of each element, even if they weren’t involved in its creation.

Easier onboarding for new developers – New team members can familiarize themselves with the codebase more quickly.

This feature would enhance documentation quality and significantly boost developer productivity in OutSystems projects.
