About Actor README Generator Agent

Tired of staring at a blank page when you need to document your Apify Actor? I've been there. The Actor README Generator Agent takes the hassle out of that final step. Just feed it your actor's ID, and it gets to work, crafting a clean, useful README that follows Apify's own official guidelines. It uses an AI agent to structure everything from a clear description to SEO-friendly keywords, so your actor is easier for others to find and use. The best part? It's completely open source, so you can see how it works or even tweak it for your own needs. I use it to quickly polish my projects before publishing, saving me time to focus on the actual code. It’s a straightforward solution for a common developer chore—no more last-minute documentation stress.
