Case Study: Recursion improves documentation accuracy and efficiency with Swimm

Recursion - Customer Case Study

Recursion, a TechBio company with 200+ developers and more than 1,000 active repositories, struggled to keep technical documentation accurate, discoverable, and trustworthy. Before Swimm, teams relied on Slack and scattered tools like Guru, Kipwise, and Google Docs, leading to repeated work, wasted time, and unreliable documentation.

Swimm solved this by linking documentation directly to code changes, making docs update alongside the code and stay in sync automatically. Recursion also встроated Swimm into its internal project-start tooling so documentation became part of new projects from day one. As a result, Swimm helped Recursion reduce redundant work, prevent mistakes, and significantly improve knowledge sharing across the organization.
