ActiveHelping humans and AI agents understand massive codebases
About
Sourcebot is an open source code understanding platform for massive codebases. We’re used by thousands of engineers in some of the largest companies in the world, including NVIDIA, Red Hat, Wikimedia, and Arista Networks. Understanding code, not writing it, is the primary bottleneck for large engineering teams. For developers, this means onboarding onto complex codebases faster. For AI agents, it means getting the necessary code context to minimize hallucinations and maximize cohesion within the wider codebase. Sourcebot solves this by giving developers and AI agents the ability to regex search across millions of lines of code instantly, as well as ask questions across thousands of repos using any flagship reasoning model. Being open source and on-prem, we can get deployed in enterprises within minutes before other tools even get approval. We met a decade ago at McGill University and have been building together full time for over 2 years. We’ve personally felt the pain of understanding large codebases while working at Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Google, and Meta.

Launch
Helping developers and AI agents understand massive codebases.
Sourcebot launches an open source, self-hosted platform that helps developers and AI agents understand large codebases by providing code search, natural-language questions across multiple repositories, and AI context via MCP. It integrates with code hosts and LLMs, offers free community and paid enterprise editions, and targets organizations with extensive, multi-repo codebases.
