Show HN: I Rebuilt DevinAI's $300K DeepWiki and Open Source It

https://github.com/AsyncFuncAI/deepwiki-open

You’ve probably heard about DevinAI’s DeepWiki, a powerful AI tool for GitHub repo documentation that reportedly cost $300K in compute. What if I told you I rebuilt it in under an hour*,* and made it completely open source?

Open DeepWiki transforms any GitHub repository into a fully AI-augmented wiki with:

AI-generated documentation using Gemini and GPT models

Visual architecture diagrams (Mermaid.js)

Codebase Q&A powered by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

Fully self-hosted, running locally with zero cloud lock-in

No paywalls, no proprietary black boxes.Self host friendly!

Check it out here: https://github.com/AsyncFuncAI/deepwiki-open

Would love to hear your feedback and ideas for improving this project!

Cool project! Did you compare the results with deepwiki.com? What are the differences?
