Onboarding Buddy

The Problem: New developers waste 2-3 weeks trying to understand large codebases. They ask senior developers the same questions repeatedly, slowing down entire teams. The Solution: Onboarding Buddy uses IBM Bob's full repository context to instantly answer any question about an unfamiliar codebase — showing exactly which files to change and why. Key Features: - Smart File Tree: Navigate any GitHub repository instantly - AI Chat: Ask "Where do I add a discount feature?" — Bob answers with exact files - Code Viewer: View any file with syntax highlighting - Explain This Flow: Understand complete data flow of any file - Quick Questions: One-click common developer questions How IBM Bob Powers This: IBM Bob reads the complete repository context — not just single files. This allows Onboarding Buddy to give specific, accurate answers grounded in the actual codebase. Without IBM Bob, this tool cannot work. Business Impact: Onboarding Buddy reduces developer onboarding from 3 weeks to 3 days. For a company hiring 10 developers per quarter, this saves hundreds of hours of senior developer time every quarter.
