Depth AI is a tool that helps you answer complex questions on large and messy codebases. It reduces time to onboard new engineers from months to days and enables teams to ship code faster. Use it wherever you work - our web app, Slack, GitHub Copilot and more.
Hey Product Hunt! We are Aditya and Prashant, founders of Depth AI, and we’re thrilled to be live on Product Hunt!
🚀 About Us
We were early engineers at one of the fastest-growing AI startups. During our time there, we watched the company scale like crazy, 5x-ing their engineering team in just a few months. Suddenly, early engineers were spending over half their time onboarding new folks—answering endless questions on Slack, hopping into meetings to explain the architecture, writing documentation, and reviewing tons of code.
While there are a lot of tools out there for writing boilerplate code or even building small apps, none of them really work for large, constantly evolving enterprise codebases. We saw our friends at other fast-growing companies struggling with the same thing. That’s when we decided to build Depth AI - a code intelligence tool that truly understands your codebase.
💡 How is Depth AI different?
Most AI dev tools focus on code generation or last-mile tasks like code reviews and ticket enrichments. Our product comes into play when you don’t know where to start—endless engineering hours spent on KTs and trying to understand how components interact or where to begin implementing a new feature.
👉 Depth AI helps you answer complex questions on large codebases in seconds.
🔍 Why is our search quality better?
Traditional search methods—chunking, embedding, retrieving, and reranking—work well for unstructured data but fall short for code, which is inherently structured and far more complex. So, we took a completely different approach. We build an entire code graph and use AI agents to traverse its abstractions, generating deep knowledge. Combined with code itself, this allows Depth AI to:
✅ Answering complex, high-level questions about architecture.
📍 Pinpointing entry points (i.e., the code files you need) when you’re unsure where to start.
🚫 Eliminating the need for manual tagging or summarization of files.
🎯 Our long term mission
To build a staff software engineer-level code intelligence accessible to every engineer, and a platform to build powerful tools on top.
📅 Near-Term Roadmap
We are working on improving our overall knowledge graph to capture how different components interact and impact each other. We’re also developing Research Mode, which will:
🕒 Take a few minutes to produce high-quality responses.
🛠️ Be ideal for generating comprehensive outputs like architecture diagrams and detailed explanations.
🔍 Focus on depth and accuracy, making it perfect for complex queries or technical deep dives.
We’re super excited to launch on Product Hunt and hear what you think!
P.S. Huge thanks to @kevin for not only hunting us but also providing amazing advice on our launch 🙏
