Streamlining API Documentation with GenAI-Enabled Automation

Driving productivity and efficiency in API documentation

A leading rental solutions provider needed to optimize API documentation to support a diverse tech stack while working within budget constraints. GlobalLogic leveraged one of our AI-powered SDLC solutions, CodeBuddy, to automate the generation of Swagger (OpenAPI) specifications for approximately 60 services. This GenAI-enabled solution eliminated repetitive manual tasks, achieving a ~15% increase in productivity and completing API documentation in just hours instead of months, ensuring standardized, high-quality documentation with minimal developer intervention.

Challenge

The client needed a more efficient way to generate and maintain API documentation across multiple programming languages, including Ruby on Rails, Kotlin, and Python. Manually creating Swagger specifications was time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies, delaying development timelines. To overcome these challenges, the company sought to automate documentation, improve accuracy, and free up developer resources for higher-value tasks.

Value Created

GlobalLogic deployed CodeBuddy, one of our AI-powered SDLC solutions, to streamline API documentation. The solution:

  • Automated Swagger (OpenAPI) specification generation for ~60 services, eliminating manual effort.
  • Reduced documentation time from months to hours, significantly accelerating project timelines.
  • Ensured clear, standardized, and accurate API documentation with minimal developer intervention.

Removing bottlenecks and improving documentation quality empowered this client to achieve greater development efficiency and faster API adoption across teams.

Impact

GlobalLogic worked closely with the client’s development team to integrate AI-powered documentation into their workflow. Efficient collaboration enabled quick iterations, resolving issues at the root level. Agile feedback loops ensured continuous improvements, making the process seamless and highly effective. As a result, developers could focus on core innovation, while documentation was handled automatically, improving both productivity and software quality.

We automated API documentation, improved efficiency and boosted developer productivity, reducing months of manual work to just a few hours with GenAI-enabled automation
