Intuition
Intuition is an IDE that turns a developer's codebase into a living, self-updating course. It parses code into a knowledge graph and generates guided lessons, documentation, and walkthroughs that stay current with every commit, helping developers understand the code they write with AI assistance. The tool is a fork of VS Code and currently runs in closed beta.

Problem
Developers increasingly rely on AI coding tools that generate code they don't fully understand, creating a "comprehension gap" where they can ship features but cannot explain the underlying logic. Generic tutorials and documentation are disconnected from the actual repository, leaving developers dependent on the AI that wrote the code and at risk of skill atrophy.
Solution
Intuition provides an IDE that reads your codebase and builds a persistent, human-readable knowledge layer that keeps you learning at the same pace as AI. It parses your code into a deterministic graph mapping every file, function, and the paths between them, then generates a guided course, self-updating documentation, and a knowledge graph with walkthroughs. Three entry points—a guided course covering frameworks and architecture, documentation that updates with every commit, and a navigable knowledge graph—let developers learn what each piece of code does and why. When code changes, only the affected sections regenerate and sync to the exact commit, requiring zero manual upkeep.
Target Audience
Primary users are software developers and engineers working in AI-assisted environments who want to maintain deep understanding of their codebases, particularly those in teams adopting AI pair programmers and code generation tools.
Features
- Deterministic code parsing that maps every file, function, and the paths between them into a knowledge graph
- Guided courses covering frameworks, architecture, and deep dives into the specific repository
- Self-updating documentation that regenerates only affected sections on every commit
- Knowledge graph with guided walkthroughs for exploring the codebase structure
- Fully local code indexing—code and course progress never leave the user's machine, with only relevant snippets sent to OpenAI for explanation generation
- Full VS Code editor capabilities including extensions, terminal, and keybindings as a fork of VS Code
