What it does

ReadMeAI is a small web tool for creating README files. You paste the URL of a GitHub repository and click generate, and it returns Markdown that you can copy. It analyzes the codebase and reads files such as package.json, requirements.txt and go.mod to identify the tech stack. The generated README includes a title, badges, installation steps, usage examples, API docs, a contributing guide and a license section. The site says the process takes under 10 seconds and describes the tool as free. It is a single page and does not name a company or link to documentation.
