Sage is a self-generating, self-maintaining knowledge base for your code with in-built chat, accelerating expertise, and comprehension of any codebase. Documentation is perpetually stale, codebases become increasingly old, large, and complex, and knowledge remains siloed within individuals and teams. As a result, engineers take 8-12 months to become fully operational, enterprise code becomes slow and unmaintainable, and core knowledge is continually lost upon engineer turnover. Sage is changing this reality. We take your code and automatically generate a symbol-level knowledge base that self-updates to remain forever fresh. We integrate with source control to pull your code and generate a symbolic graph representation of functions, classes, interfaces, types, etc., automatically determining the relevant context for each symbol, and using LLMs to annotate and propagate documentation via traversals of the symbol graph. Sage revolutionizes the way teams and individuals interact with and understand their code, ensuring that knowledge is always accessible, up-to-date, and interactive.

Customers have stopped using freelance marketplaces like Fiverr and instead have moved over to CloudCruise.

Close customer support tickets faster with AI. We’re building AI infrastructure to power customer support at scale. With Markprompt, companies can automate customer support, scale without increasing headcount, and deliver exceptional user experiences. Scaling customer support with headcount is expensive, with human resources accounting for 90%+ of customer support expenses. On top of that, customer support agents often burn out leading to turnover and reduced quality. As companies grow, so does their expert knowledge, which is hard to access at scale and makes keeping employees up-to-date nearly impossible. Markprompt addresses the root of the information access problem by indexing all available knowledge within a company, setting the foundation for a robust system of record to feed the AI. Built from the ground up with an API-first approach, Markprompt provides SDKs (such as React hooks and components) and no-code tools to enable integrations at all touchpoints in the customer journey.
