Give AI Coding Agents a Map of Your Codebase.
AI Guide is a privacy-first code intelligence layer that helps AI coding agents understand, navigate, and connect the code they need — without sending your source code to our servers.

The problem
AI can write code. But first, it needs to find the right code.
Large repositories contain thousands of files, deeply nested modules, dependencies, classes, functions, imports, relationships, and unfamiliar architectures.
AI coding agents can spend valuable context and tool calls navigating the repository before reaching the relevant code.
- thousands of files
- nested modules
- dependencies
- classes
- functions
- imports
- relationships
- unfamiliar architectures
The solution
AI Guide builds the map. Your AI agent does the thinking.
AI Guide does not replace coding agents — it complements them by supplying structured, evidence-based repository intelligence.

How it works
From source repository to agent-ready intelligence.
Hover or focus a stage for details.
Unified Graph
One Unified Graph. One source of truth for code navigation.
AI Guide represents repository structure, files, folders, classes, functions, methods, variables, imports, calls, references, relationships, and exact source locations — together in a single graph.
project ├── backend │ ├── auth.py │ │ ├── AuthService │ │ └── login() │ └── api.py │ └── get_users() │ └── main.py
Privacy-first
Your code stays where your code belongs.
AI Guide is designed around local-first code intelligence. The repository and generated code graph can remain inside the developer's environment instead of requiring source-code storage on our servers.
Deterministic intelligence
No guessing. No black-box repository answers.
AI Guide V1 is parser-based, deterministic, evidence-based, locally executable, and predictable. The deterministic foundation is designed to provide reliable repository structure and relationships to AI agents.
- No LLM required
- No vector database
- No RAG
- No natural-language guessing
Query experience
Query the graph from Python, the CLI, or JSON output.
from ai_guide import Guide
guide = Guide("guide-data")
guide.find("AuthService")
guide.where_is("login")
guide.relation(
"symbol:auth.py:login",
direction="incoming"
)
guide.path(source, target)guide analyze ./my-project
guide find AuthService
guide where-is login
guide relation "symbol:auth.py:login"
guide path "symbol:main.py:run_app" "symbol:auth.py:validate_input"{
"entity": "symbol:auth.py:login",
"kind": "function",

"location": { "line": 42, "column": 4 },
"relationships": [
{ "type": "called_by", "target": "symbol:api.py:get_users" }
]
}Agent integration
Built to work underneath AI coding agents.
AI Guide provides explicit developer-facing interfaces that can be exposed to coding agents. Developers can give their agent integration instructions describing how to use AI Guide's commands and Python API.
Designed for integration with AI coding agents.
Supported languages
Parser-backed language coverage.
Real validation
Already tested on a real codebase.
AI Guide analyzed a real software repository and successfully generated a Unified Graph containing 185 entities and 282 relationships.
Features
What V1 gives your agent.
Unified Graph
Repository structure and code entities represented together.
Exact Source Locations
Line and column metadata attached directly to entities.
Evidence-Based Relationships
Relationships come from repository structure and parser evidence.
Stable Entity IDs
Predictable IDs enable deterministic navigation.
Priority-Ranked Search
Exact matches are prioritized before broader matches.
Local Execution
Designed to operate close to the code.
JSON Output
Machine-readable output for tooling and automation.
Python API
Programmatic access through the Guide interface.
CLI
Simple terminal-first workflow.
Developer workflow
Five steps from install to agent-ready.
Why AI Guide

Vision
From a local developer tool to infrastructure for AI-native software development.
Our business direction stays privacy-first: intelligence that can run where the code already lives. Pricing is still being finalized and is not published yet.
Give your AI agent a better map.
