Buildt
AI-powered code search and understanding tool that helps developers navigate and comprehend large codebases quickly.
Price: Freemium
Description
Buildt uses natural language processing to allow developers to search code using plain English queries, understand code structure, and identify dependencies. It's designed for engineering teams working on complex projects, helping them reduce onboarding time, improve code quality, and accelerate development cycles by making code discovery intuitive. Unlike traditional grep or IDE search, Buildt understands the *meaning* of code, providing contextual answers and relevant code snippets. It aims to boost developer productivity by making code exploration effortless, especially in large or unfamiliar codebases.
How to Use
1.Integrate Buildt with your version control system (e.g., GitHub, GitLab).
2.Allow Buildt to index your codebase securely.
3.Open the Buildt interface within your IDE (e.g., VS Code) or web browser.
4.Type natural language questions about your code (e.g., "Where is the user authentication logic?").
5.Review the AI-generated explanations, code snippets, and relevant file links to quickly understand the code.
Use Cases
Onboarding new developers to complex codebasesUnderstanding legacy code without extensive documentationSearching for specific functionalities using natural languageIdentifying code dependencies and relationshipsAccelerating debugging by quickly pinpointing relevant code sectionsImproving code quality by facilitating better understanding
