ABOUT

What Is Code Explorer?

Code Explorer is an AI-powered accelerator that rapidly analyzes and documents any codebase, regardless of language or age. It uncovers technical and functional insights, visualizes system architecture, and generates clear, human-readable documentation to reduce risk and streamline modernization. By automating code understanding, teams can accelerate refactoring, migration, and compliance with confidence.

CHALLENGES

Codebase Challenges Code Explorer Solves

Modern software environments carry forward decades of evolving code, often with minimal documentation, siloed processes, and hidden complexity. Code Explorer tackles these obstacles head-on so you can modernize with confidence.

Undocumented Legacy Code
Opaque ETL Pipelines
High Modernization Risk
Technical Debt & Obsolete Architecture
Limited Code Visibility
Business–Tech Misalignment

SOLUTION

How Code Explorer Works

Under the hood, Code Explorer runs a series of AI-driven pipelines that ingest your source files, extract deep technical and functional insights, and deliver visualizations and documentation to power every phase of modernization.

Chain of Density Collection

Uses advanced, context-aware LLM prompts to parse source code and ETL scripts, extracting comprehensive, granular details (functions, variables, data flows) and generating richly annotated markdown docs.

Knowledge Graph Construction

Converts parsed code into a graph database of nodes (modules, tables) and edges (data flows, dependencies), enabling interactive queries, impact analysis, and architectural visualization.

Automated ETL Catalog Generation

Identifies and catalogs every ETL pipeline, auto-producing detailed, enterprise-grade process flow diagrams and interactive data lineage documentation to support compliance, migration planning, and analytics integration.
