How Does Driver Work? An Overview of the Driver Transpiler
We often get asked about the technology that powers Driver. Here, we give a brief overview of our Driver Transpiler and share an article I wrote with a more in-depth explanation.

Introducing Our Driver Transpiler
Driver solves technical documentation through its innovative Driver Transpiler, which combines traditional compiler technologies with large language models (LLMs). The system takes a systematic, bottom-up approach focused on structure and automation, enabling automatic generation and updating of high-quality documentation.
The Driver solution can process codebases of any size or language, breaking them down into manageable components before reconstructing them into comprehensive technical documentation. The platform leverages RAG agents for interactive writing capabilities and prioritizes long-form content creation with features like tight source control, smart instructions, templates, and document generation tools, all designed to create a seamless documentation experience.
I recently wrote a more in-depth piece on Driver’s foundational technology for Semiconductor Engineering, including the three key components the system combines to enable code comprehension at scale.
