Greptile
AI expert on any codebase in natural language, accessible via API
Greptile is an AI-powered API that can search and understand large codebases in natural language, letting software teams easily build powerful internal dev tools. Developers at 300+ companies including Stripe and Amazon use Greptile for LLM-powered codebase Q&A, to automatically update their docs on new commits, automate PR reviews, automatically add codebase context to new Jira tickets, and [much, much more](https://docs.greptile.com/examples). Greptile can used via the cloud, or be hosted 100% on your AWS in an air-gapped VPC.

Company Launches
Hi everyone! We’re Soohoon, Vaishant, and Daksh from Greptile. We are building the AI expert on any codebase.
tl;dr Greptile is an AI platform that lets LLMs understand large codebases. Teams and devs at 250+ companies including Stripe and Amazon use it to get answers to questions about large codebases via our web app, automatically update their docs, build PR review bots on our API, and more.

PROBLEM
As software companies grow:
- Codebases get more complex.
- Legacy code and tech debt accumulates.
- Docs are usually outdated.
- Original engineers leave, and new engineers are less familiar with the code.
To get around this, developers:
- Just brute force their way to grokking the code - which is hard and time-consuming.
- Seek help from the subject matter expert, which is difficult if they have left, work remotely, or are just busy.
- Try to use tools like GitHub copilot, which are not designed to answer with full code context, so they fail to deliver.
In fact, the thing that makes coding hard is usually the codebase, not the code!
We found a way to index and search large codebases such that LLMs can always find the right context, allowing any developer to build internal developer tools powered by AI.
