What is HowWorks?

HowWorks is an AI-powered search engine and discovery platform for builders, founders, and product managers. Ask AI to find trending open-source projects, understand how the best AI products are built, and turn any codebase into documentation — all without reading code.

AI Search Engine for Builders

Search and discover AI projects by describing what you want to build. HowWorks indexes thousands of open-source repositories and generates architecture breakdowns, tech stack analyses, and implementation guides that help you research before you code.

Code-to-Docs: Understand Any Codebase

Instantly translate complex repositories into plain-language documentation. Generate PRDs, tech specs, and architecture diagrams from any GitHub project. Perfect for product managers, non-technical founders, and anyone who needs to understand code without an engineering background.

Project-to-Prompt: Accelerate Vibe Coding

Extract implementation patterns and proven architectures from real AI projects. Turn any open-source project into actionable prompts for your next build. The best vibe coding session starts with understanding what already exists.
