RepoMind : AI Onboarding Copilot

RepoMind solves one of the biggest pain points in software development: onboarding into large and complex codebases. Developers joining new projects often spend weeks trying to understand system architecture, dependencies, and workflows. This slows productivity, delays delivery, and creates frustration across engineering teams. RepoMind is an AI-powered onboarding copilot built using IBM watsonx and IBM Granite. Users paste a GitHub repository URL and instantly receive an architecture summary, module breakdowns, execution flow explanations, and a conversational AI assistant that answers questions like “How does authentication work?” or “Where is the payment logic handled?” The platform uses IBM Granite 3 8B Instruct through watsonx.ai to deliver contextual understanding of entire repositories. The backend is powered by FastAPI and GitPython for repository analysis, while the frontend runs on Streamlit for a simple and interactive experience. RepoMind was developed in collaboration with IBM Bob and is designed for junior developers, onboarding engineers, open-source contributors, and teams managing legacy systems. The business opportunity is significant. The global developer tools market exceeds $26 billion, while AI-powered coding and onboarding tools continue to grow rapidly. RepoMind follows a scalable SaaS model with free access for public repositories and premium plans for private repositories, team dashboards, and enterprise integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Unlike tools focused on autocomplete or code search, RepoMind specializes in full codebase comprehension through natural-language interaction, helping developers understand systems faster and reduce onboarding time from weeks to minutes.
