Introduction

ProdE is the product brain for software product organizations. Your codebase is the only true source of truth for what your product does and how it works, and ProdE reverse-engineers a complete, AI-powered understanding of your product directly from it, even when that codebase spans hundreds of repositories and millions of lines of code.

ProdE builds a living model of your entire engineering ecosystem:

• Your product: how it was built, how it works today, and the business and product logic implemented across the codebase
• Each repository: what it does, the role it plays in the system, and the technologies it uses
• Cross-repo behavior: how repos call into each other, the upstream services each one depends on, and the downstream services that rely on it
• The full picture: how every repo fits within the larger ecosystem, end to end

This shared understanding is what powers everything else in ProdE.

What You Can Do with ProdE

ProdE does three things for software product organizations: it generates detailed product and technical documentation for every repository, it answers questions about your product and codebase, and it helps your team plan and build features end to end.

Product & Technical Documentation

ProdE automatically generates detailed product and technical documentation for every repository it indexes, and keeps it in sync as the code evolves.

For each repository, the documentation covers:

• Glossary: the key terms and concepts specific to that repository.
• Product details: what the repository does and the product surface it powers.
• Components: the major components of the product and the role each one plays.
• Business logic: the rules, validations, and decisions implemented in the code.
• Flow diagrams: visual flows for the most important product behaviors.
• Technical architecture: how the repository is structured internally, along with architecture diagrams for all the major functionalities.

ProdE Chat

ProdE turns your codebase into shared knowledge that anyone in the organization can query in plain English, without needing to read code or interrupt a developer.

Typical questions people ask ProdE:

• How is a specific piece of logic implemented?
• How does the product actually behave in a given scenario?
• What checks, validations, or business rules are in place?

This unlocks questions that today require pulling in a developer:

• A product manager can ask "What happens when a user downgrades from Pro to Free mid-billing-cycle?" without waiting for engineering to dig through the code.
• A support agent can ask "Why might a customer with a valid card on file still see an account-suspended error?" while still on the call with the customer.
• A salesperson can ask "Does our product support SAML SSO out of the box, or only on Enterprise plans?" before committing to a customer.
• A developer working against another team's service can ask "How does the billing service handle Stripe webhook retries?" instead of waiting on that team.

Product Planning

ProdE helps with planning across the entire product development lifecycle (PDLC), taking cross-functional teams from a rough idea to agent-ready specifications in a matter of hours.

During planning, ProdE actively works with the team to:

• Sharpen a vague idea into concrete, testable specifications.
• Surface edge cases, impact areas, and scenarios that normally get missed.
• Flag blockers that would otherwise derail sprints later: scope creep, unseen dependencies on other teams, and gaps that only show up mid-development.

Everyone involved in shipping a feature works in the same place: PMs, designers (UI/UX), developers, and QA. The end output is a single source of truth that includes:

• Crystal-clear functional requirements.
• Acceptance criteria that any new developer can pick up and verify against.
• Specifications ready to hand directly to a coding agent for implementation.
• Test cases tied to each requirement.

How It Works

For ProdE to work, the only thing it needs from your side is access to your repositories. You connect ProdE to your Git provider (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps) and select which repositories you want indexed. From there, ProdE pulls in the code and builds its understanding of your product.

Security & Privacy

• Read-Only Access: only requests read-only access to your repositories.
• No Training on Your Codebase: your code is never used to train any AI model.
• ISO 27001 Compliant: ProdE meets the international standard for information security management.
• On-Prem Deployment: if your code and data need to stay inside your own infrastructure, ProdE can be deployed on your own servers.
• Data Control: all data can be deleted upon disconnection.
