OpenAPI spec → polished docs site in 60 seconds

Upload an OpenAPI spec (JSON/YAML, v2 or v3). 60 seconds later: a polished docs site — endpoint descriptions, parameter tables, curl examples, error codes. Exports to self-hosted HTML + Markdown. Free for 1 doc/month. $19 once for unlimited.
Hey PH! Docsmith is for the docs nobody wants to write. Upload an OpenAPI spec (JSON or YAML), get a complete docs site in 60 seconds — endpoint descriptions, curl examples, parameter tables, error codes. All AI-generated, exports to HTML + Markdown so you can drop it in Notion, Confluence, or GitHub without a hosting setup.
I built it because Mintlify and Redocly are overkill for side projects and enterprise-pricey for small teams. After spending two days hand-writing endpoint descriptions for a 40-route API, I wrote a script that does it in 90 seconds with better consistency. Then a few API teams asked for it.
Honest pricing: Free tier is 1 doc/month. Pro is $19 (₹1,599 in India) one-time, lifetime access — no subscription, no team-seat upsell, no monthly bill. Generations are unlimited and specs up to 10 MB.
What it's not: a docs CMS. It's a one-shot generator. You self-host the output. If you want collaborative editing or a hosted portal, ReadMe and Mintlify are better.
Would love feedback from anyone who's written API docs by hand — what would make this replace that workflow? I'm in the thread today.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Bikram. I built Docsmith because every time I tried to ship an API at a small company, the docs were the last thing anyone wanted to write — and the first thing customers complained about.
The flow: drop in your OpenAPI spec (JSON or YAML, v2 or v3, up to 10MB). 60 seconds later you get a styled docs site — endpoint descriptions, curl examples, parameter tables, error codes — as portable HTML + Markdown. Drop it into Notion, Confluence, or commit it straight to your repo. No hosting, no config, no docs platform to log in to.
Pricing: free for the first doc each month, $19 (₹1,599) one-time for unlimited. No seats, no monthly bill. Mintlify and ReadMe both start at $250/month for the same use case — Docsmith is one payment because most teams generate docs at API release (~quarterly), and a quarterly task shouldn't carry a monthly subscription.
Built solo with Claude over three weekends. The output isn't a wrapper around your spec — it's an actual rendered site with AI-written prose for each endpoint, structured for the human reader, not for the spec parser.
Try it free at https://docsmithai.com — first doc takes ~60 seconds, no signup required for the free tier.
Happy to answer anything in the thread. Especially interested in feedback from anyone who's currently writing API docs by hand or paying $250/mo elsewhere.
