Onboard Project Overview

Replace Outdated Docs with Reality

Onboard turns your codebase into a shared, reliable source of truth. Instead of relying on outdated docs or digging through files, every developer can explore the system as it existed at a specific point in time—read-only, consistent, and fully connected. No manual cross-referencing required.

Onboard is your documentation.

AI guidance that stays grounded

Like an always-available Senior Engineer, Onboard AI is ready to answer your questions

Onboard combines large language models with the deep code relationship data generated by SciTools Understand. By providing the AI with accurate cross-reference information about how code elements interact, Onboard delivers precise explanations of files, functions, classes, and architecture—resulting in far more reliable insights than AI tools that rely on source text alone.

• Ask about any file, function, or module
• Get explanations tied to real code relationships
• Understand logic, flow, and dependencies instantly
• No cloud required—your code stays on your machine
