BobGuard is an AI-powered security audit assistant built to help developers detect, understand, and remediate vulnerabilities in their codebases faster. The platform supports repository scanning for remote GitHub repositories as well as local project folders, then presents findings through a developer-friendly dashboard with severity grouping, OWASP mapping, and issue-level analysis. Instead of stopping at detection, BobGuard integrates IBM Bob to provide contextual AI remediation for each finding, including a plain-language explanation, why the issue matters, recommended remediation steps, and safer fix guidance. This makes the tool useful not only for identifying risks, but also for helping teams move toward secure fixes with less manual research. In our current implementation, a user can submit a repository, review detected findings in the dashboard, select a vulnerability, and click Ask Bob to get AI-generated remediation guidance in real time. The system has been tested locally end-to-end with successful scan and explanation flows, including rendering vulnerability summaries and Bob-generated fix guidance in the UI. BobGuard is designed as a practical secure development companion for students, developers, and teams who want faster feedback loops between vulnerability detection and safe remediation.
