Today marks a significant milestone in developer tooling. We're excited to introduce Cogment, a revolutionary platform that transforms how developers understand and work with their codebases using advanced AI.

The Problem We're Solving

Modern software projects are increasingly complex. Developers spend countless hours trying to understand existing code, searching for specific functionality, and onboarding new team members to large codebases. Traditional tools fall short when it comes to semantic understanding of code.

Recent studies show that developers spend up to 58% of their time just trying to understand code rather than writing it. This is a massive productivity drain that affects individual developers and entire organizations.

How Cogment Changes the Game

Cogment uses cutting-edge AI to create a semantic understanding of your entire codebase. Unlike traditional search tools that rely on keyword matching, Cogment understands the intent and context behind your code.

Semantic Code Search

Find code by describing what it does, not just what it's called. Search for "user authentication logic" and find relevant functions even if they're named `validateCredentials` or `checkUserAccess`.

AI Context Generation

Get intelligent context for any function or file. Cogment analyzes your entire codebase to provide relevant information about dependencies, usage patterns, and architectural decisions.

Team Collaboration

Share insights and knowledge across your team. Build a collective understanding of your codebase that survives team changes and project handovers.

IDE Integration

Works seamlessly with VS Code, IntelliJ, and more. Get AI-powered insights right where you code, without switching between tools.

Getting Started

Getting started with Cogment is simple. Install our CLI tool and start analyzing your codebase in minutes:

npm install -g cogment

cogment auth login

cogment scan ./my-project

Once scanned, you can search your codebase using natural language:

cogment search "user authentication logic"

cogment context src/auth/middleware.ts:42

The scan process creates semantic embeddings of your code, building an AI-powered understanding that enables natural language search and intelligent context generation.

Real-World Impact

Early adopters are already seeing significant improvements:

  • **50% reduction** in time spent understanding unfamiliar code
  • **3x faster** onboarding for new team members
  • **40% improvement** in code review quality
  • **Dramatically better** AI assistant responses with proper context
  • Security and Privacy

    We understand that your code is your most valuable asset. Cogment is designed with security and privacy as core principles:

  • **Local processing**: All analysis happens on your machine by default
  • **End-to-end encryption**: Optional cloud features use military-grade encryption
  • **No code storage**: We never store your source code on our servers
  • **SOC 2 compliance**: Enterprise-grade security standards
  • What's Next

    We're just getting started. Our roadmap includes:

  • Advanced team analytics and insights
  • More IDE integrations (Vim, Emacs, Sublime Text)
  • Custom model training for domain-specific languages
  • Enterprise features including SSO and on-premise deployment
  • API integrations with popular developer tools
  • Join the Beta

    Cogment is currently in private beta, and we're onboarding new users every week. We're looking for developers and teams who want to be at the forefront of AI-powered development tools.
