amneAI — A Cure for Codebase Amnesia

I built a TOEIC English prep app with AI. It worked perfectly. I shipped it. Weeks later, a friend asked me to add quizzes. I opened my own code and froze — I had no idea where the curriculum logic lived. That's codebase amnesia. And if you've ever vibe-coded a project, you know exactly what I'm talking about. 73% of new code is AI-generated. Developers generate 3x more code than they can manually review. We're building faster than ever, but we're also forgetting faster than ever. The gap between what we build and what we understand is growing every single day. amneAI fixes this. Paste a GitHub URL. IBM Bob Shell reads your entire repository — every file, every dependency, every structural pattern — and generates a plain-English codebase guide for your future self. Not a chatbot response that disappears. A persistent, shareable dashboard with 7 sections: Summary, Architecture, Data Flow, Key Files, Entry Points, Gotchas, and Dependencies. The Entry Points section told me exactly where to add those quizzes. The Gotchas section found invisible Unicode characters in another project I built — something I shipped and never knew existed. You can't Google what you don't know exists. That's the difference. Other tools in this hackathon generate documentation or onboarding guides from repos. amneAI is different — it explains your codebase to the developer who needs it most: future you. The solo dev who vibe-coded something three months ago. The freelancer handing off a project. The new hire staring at a codebase nobody documented. Built solo in 48 hours. Written entirely in IBM Bob IDE. Powered by IBM Bob Shell's native repository context — no RAG chunking, no embedding, no retrieval loss. Just Bob reading your whole codebase like a senior dev would. amneAI — a cure for codebase amnesia.
