New engineers productive in days, not months

New hires query the codebase directly instead of waiting on whoever's on Slack.

Onboarding still costs your senior team weeks

  • New hires spend weeks asking "Where is X?" and "How does Y work?"
  • Senior engineers lose hours explaining the same things repeatedly.
  • Documentation is outdated or doesn't exist.
  • Tribal knowledge leaves when people leave.
  • Onboarding quality varies by who's available to help.

New hires get answers from the codebase, not the senior on Slack

New hires query the codebase directly and get answers with file links and history. No tap on the senior's shoulder for the third time today.

Answers a ramping engineer actually needs

Instant Answers

"How does our authentication flow work?" A detailed explanation with code links.

System Overview

"Show me the architecture of the ordering system." Generated from current code, not last year's Confluence page.

Pattern Discovery

"How do we typically implement new API endpoints here?" Answered from existing code.

Historical Context

"Why was this service split from the monolith?" Surfaced from history and conventions.

Self-Service Learning

New hires explore on their own. Seniors stop answering the same question every quarter.

Day 1 to Month 1, grounded in real code

  1. 1

    Day 1

    "What are the main services and how do they connect?"

  2. 2

    Week 1

    "How do I add a new feature to the checkout flow?"

  3. 3

    Month 1

    "What's the history behind this legacy module?"

What changes for your team

  • New hires self-serve instead of blocking on senior engineers.
  • Fewer tap-on-the-shoulder questions for senior engineers.
  • Consistent onboarding quality regardless of team availability.

Onboard faster, without burning your senior team

Every new engineer gets answers from the actual code, not whoever's on Slack.
