Onboard engineersin days, not weeks
Illume ingests a GitHub repository and generates an interactive onboarding guide — architecture briefs, reading orders, glossaries, and ownership maps. All automated.
Everything a new hire needs
From architecture overview to code ownership — generated automatically from your repository.
Architecture Brief
Auto-generated executive summaries — detects tech stacks, maps entry points, and traces data flows through your codebase.
Guided Reading Order
Topologically sorted learning paths. Know exactly where to start and what to read next with LLM-annotated explanations.
Codebase Glossary
Every function, class, and domain term explained in plain English. Searchable, browsable, and linked to source code.
Code Ownership Map
Who wrote what, who owns what, who to ask. Knowledge silo detection with bus-factor analysis from git history.
Critical File Guardrails
Traffic-light tagging: 🔴 Critical 🟡 Caution 🟢 Safe. Know what you can touch and what needs review.
Ask the Codebase
RAG-powered Q&A over code, commits, and pull requests. Ask 'why' — get answers citing the exact PR that made the change.
