Frumle vs ReadMe

Frumle wins because developers need accurate living docs and AI that knows the API, not another content hub that drifts from production. Generate from source, ask questions in natural language, and connect AI coding tools. That is Frumle.

Leave it behind

Where ReadMe fails

AI/search depth cannot match a workspace grounded in your analyzed codebase
More CMS theater, less living API truth
