Adrenaline makes you an expert on your codebase. Import a Github repository or paste a code snippet, and Adrenaline will answer any question you have about your code.
We've been working on this nonstop for the last two months. Using a combination of static code analysis and LLMs, Adrenaline is able to answer virtually any question about your codebase. We're still very early phase, though, and would love to hear feedback on the usability of the product. What kind of questions does it answer best? Worst? Please let us know what you think!
Our vision for Adrenaline is to build a system that demystifies every codebase, no matter how confusing and messy it may be. A lot of AI tools are helping programmers iterate faster, but none are focused on making developers smarter. And we think this is the biggest lever AI can pull right now –– just imagine if an ordinary developer could ramp up on a massive codebase in just a few days.

Can't wait to try this out and see how it could speed up my development workflow. How does it work with multiple files and across an entire repo? Will it be able to reference the different files and click through to them? Loving what I am seeing so far.
Really excited for the future of AI powered dev-tools, and this looks very slick. Maybe the obvious question to ask: how does this compare to GitHub Copilot?
@w Copilot is your pair programmer. It helps you iterate more quickly and generate code. We're aiming for a level about that, where we not only help developers solve problems quickly, but also what problems to solve. The next step after Q&A is building a chatbot that brainstorms with you, proposes ideas, challenges your assumptions, identifies inefficiencies in your system or surfaces useful tools and resources. It's a system like this that we think will power the next generation of 10x engineers.
It's a cool idea, I pointed it at a few of my repos and asked it questions until I hit the limits of the free trial. I had the most success with the React project I looked at, I also looked at a C# project and tried to open a third project but it was apparently too large
What I liked most:
- when I asked how I could possibly modify the code to accomplish a slightly different use case and it gave a pretty good approach
- asking how a different react components were used gave a correct answer
What I didn't like:
- sometimes it couldn't tell me things that were specifically explained in the readme file
- The plan prices seem a bit steep, $10/month for only 100 chat messages seems like a lot, though admittedly I'm not sure what sort of resources this requires
- i did hit some unexplained errors when trying to open a project (separate from the one that was too large), which is a shame because that's a fork I've been trying to figure out for awhile
This is a huge problem, especially for smaller startups without a procedural process to ramp people up! Can't wait to try it out at our company! Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on the launch!
This is a HUGE deal for onboarding engineers! Developers spend wayyy more time understanding and debugging code than actually writing it!
Excited for what's next!
I'm not a developer, but this looks pretty helpful. From what I see, this can be used as an advanced AI search tool. Would it be able to look for different problems in the code? Or make suggestions on different approaches regarding the code (maybe making it better)?
