Compass AI

The Compass AI platform is a highly intelligent developer first onboarding framework aimed at eliminating the friction of diving into a vast unknown codebase. Historically, engineers have spent several weeks digging through fragmented documentation, arranging knowledge transfer meetings, and mapping spaghetti code manually to get familiar with a particular codebase. The Compass AI solution drastically changes this process by employing the powerful capabilities of IBM WatsonX. Our platform provides a unique opportunity to analyze the entire code repository safely, turning abstract and frightening software architecture into two distinct but equally important dynamic visualizations: Step by Step Learning Pathways: An interactive gamification solution that analyzes codebase files according to their complexity and architectural importance. The platform creates a learning pathway for the developer, allowing them to proceed step by step, starting with low level utility scripts and moving further to complex service layers. Dependencies Map: An interactive nodes and edges map that shows current real time dependencies across all files. It allows a developer to zoom, pan, and interactively click through the dependency nodes to see how the modification of a particular codebase file will impact other files. Running on top of a high performance FastAPI backend and Next.js frontend, Compass AI unifies the potential of generative AI with deep structural intelligence. By mapping the abstract geometry of code into a tangible workspace, it eliminates the overwhelming mental overhead that paralyzes new developers. Compass AI shifts the developer onboarding paradigm from passive reading to active, visual exploration, slashing time to first commit from weeks to minutes, boosting team velocity, and turning the dread of a legacy codebase into an engaging, predictable journey.
