Getonboard for Web

Introducing Getonboard — an AI-assisted code explorer

Getonboard is an AI-driven assistant designed to help developers quickly make sense of unfamiliar codebases. By providing a GitHub repository link, users can converse with the tool to generate snippets, inspect architecture, and ask targeted questions to accelerate onboarding and review tasks.

Core capabilities

• Interactive Q&A for drilling into specific files, modules, or behaviors
• Automated pull-request review and contextual commentary
• In-app code navigation and module-level exploration tools
• SOC 2 Type II compliance and other enterprise-focused safeguards
• Direct GitHub sign-in and repository integration for live analysis
• Query-style search that surfaces answers rather than raw matches

How it works

Enter a GitHub repository URL and Getonboard ingests the project to build an index and conversational interface. From there, you can ask natural-language questions, request example code, follow call chains, or have the assistant point out potential issues and hotspots. The UI is built to be approachable so developers can jump straight into exploration with minimal setup.

Security posture and maintenance

Getonboard emphasizes secure handling of repository data and follows formal compliance practices. The product receives frequent updates and maintenance to improve analysis accuracy and add new capabilities over time.

Known limitations

• No support for offline analysis or local-only projects
• Cannot access private repositories in its current configuration
• Limited to repositories hosted on GitHub; other hosting services are not supported
