What it does
Potpie turns your codebase and development history into a connected map, called a context graph, that AI coding agents can use.
It indexes your code, its structure, decisions and team knowledge, so an agent can answer questions, plan changes, debug failures and write code with project-specific context.
A setup wizard connects it to your coding assistant, and you can view the map in a web interface.
Who it's for
Development teams who want their AI coding tools to deeply understand their projects.
