Today we're excited to announce new AI package summaries for the most popular JavaScript packages. These summaries display useful information about npm packages so you can get a better understanding of their features and syntax at a glance.
Usually, developers include a README file in a package's repositories, but this isn't a consistent practice. Some open source packages have impeccable documentation and others have almost nothing.

To access these AI summaries, simply navigate to the overview page of one of the most popular JavaScript packages, such as lodash, webpack or postcss.
If you want to see which packages are currently the most popular, you can check out our list of the top 250 npm packages.
We're rolling out this feature for the top 1,000 JavaScript packages today. In the future, we plan on making it available for a greater number of npm packages, as well as for packages from other ecosystems, such as PyPI, Maven, and Go. Stay tuned!
