Multi-step questions, answers cited to your code

Multi-step reasoning across your entire codebase with transparent trails back to the code.

Parse question
Decompose 'How does our payment flow work?' into retrievable sub-queries.
Retrieve context
Pull PaymentService, OrderRouter, and webhook handlers from the knowledge graph.
Multi-hop reasoning
Trace the chain from API entry to service to external vendor to confirmation.
Cite & answer
Grounded answer with file:line references back to your code.

Deep research, one step at a time

Every step in the chain cites the code it used

How CodeAlive turns a question into an answer you can audit.

Ask in plain English. "How does our payment flow work?" returns a traced explanation, not a snippet.

Follows calls across services and dependencies, not just the file you ask about.

Every answer links to the files it used. You can verify the reasoning, line by line.

Pulls in commits, PRs, and discussions so answers explain why the code is the way it is.

Pick fast or thorough, depending on how much you need to be right.

Fast answers for simple questions

Direct lookups and targeted retrieval when you already know roughly what you are looking for.

Full multi-step analysis for complex queries

Multi-step investigation that walks dependencies, history, and conventions before answering.

Questions where the answer has to be right, not just plausible.

Map architecture, dependencies, and risk areas across an unfamiliar codebase before signing.

Reconstruct how an old system works (and why) directly from the code that still runs in production.

Trace data flows and access paths through every service to answer audit questions with evidence.

Follow a failing path through services and history to find the change or assumption that broke.
