devin ai does this amazingly
Devin is amazing for code generation and automation - Codemap is focused on helping teams understand large codebases: visual architecture, AI docs, bug analysis, and team knowledge retention.

code-map.com timing out. appears to be a nice start, from video.
does code-map requires license from major model provider?
also, is code-map open source? how are new languages added?
Thanks for the kind words!
Yes - landing is up at code-map.com, but looks like my hosting was a bit hammered before - I'll check it. Glad the video helped explain it - I'm still refining the landing page.
Good questions — here's some clarification:
1. License / model dependency Codemap doesn't require a license from a major model provider - it's designed to work with local models (Ollama, open-source LLMs), or users can plug in external APIs (OpenAI, Claude) if they want. The core parsing/analysis/graphing is independent of any one model.
2. Open source? Codemap itself is not open source - it's a commercial B2B product. Some parts (like parsers) may use OSS components, but the overall system is proprietary.
3. How are new languages added? Language support is modular: each new language needs a parser + chunker to feed the AI layer. Java is fully supported today. JS/TS are next. Python, PHP planned.

We're using Github Copilot (the chat UI on github.com) to allow non-technical colleagues to ask questions of the code, "How does X business process work". It's deflected a lot of basic questions from engineers. Your product seems in this direction. Nice job
Thanks so much! Yes, we’re aiming to go deeper than just code chat - combining AI with structural diagrams and project insights to help teams understand architecture and workflows faster.
And we’re starting to onboard small teams for testing - happy to chat if this could be useful for your team!
Thanks for the feedback!

Certificate error on Safari iPhone btw.
I will take a look, thanks!

Congrats on the launch. I think you should have some pictures or diagrams on the main page to better explain what it does - the demo is good, but people want to see something up front, not necessarily watch a video.
And think about renaming the "Bugger Agent" ... Bugger has a particular meaning in English that you won't like.
Thanks for your comment! Will make some changes on the main page, thanks for expaining about "Bugger", didn't know that :)

Happy to answer any questions about the project, the AI parts, or how it works under the hood!
