Product Overview
What is Graphify?
Graphify is a local-first code intelligence tool for AI coding workflows. It maps source code, documentation, PDFs, images, audio, and video into a persistent knowledge graph that assistants can query instead of repeatedly searching raw files. By combining local static analysis with optional semantic extraction, Graphify reveals how files, symbols, concepts, and design rationale connect. Its path-based answers include provenance labels, helping developers inspect whether a relationship was directly extracted from source or inferred from context.
Key Features
Repository Knowledge Graphs
Transforms codebases and supporting project materials into a connected graph of files, functions, classes, concepts, and dependencies.
Queryable Code Context
Provides query, path, and explain commands so coding assistants can answer architecture questions through graph traversal rather than broad file searches.
Local-First Code Parsing
Uses Tree-sitter static analysis to parse code locally across dozens of languages, keeping code extraction offline and avoiding embeddings.
Auditable Relationship Evidence
Labels graph edges as extracted, inferred, or ambiguous, making the basis of each connection easier to inspect and verify.
Architecture Insights
Detects code communities, highly connected god nodes, cross-module links, and rationale comments that explain design decisions.
Assistant and MCP Integration
Installs as a skill for major AI coding assistants and can serve project graphs through MCP for individual developers or teams.
Use Cases
- Large Codebase Understanding : Help developers and coding agents understand a repository’s architecture, key modules, and dependencies without reading files one by one.
- Developer Onboarding : Give new engineers a queryable project map for tracing ownership, understanding workflows, and discovering documented design rationale.
- Impact Analysis : Trace multi-hop dependencies to assess what may be affected by a change to a function, service, configuration, or shared module.
- AI-Assisted Debugging : Investigate how components connect across files and services before asking an assistant to diagnose a defect or propose a fix.
- Architecture Reviews : Identify central components, unexpected cross-module connections, and structural risks during refactoring or technical reviews.
- Team-Shared Engineering Context : Commit or self-host generated graph data so team members and their assistants can work from the same repository knowledge layer.
