Hey HN, I'm Tanner, one of the founders of Ix.
Every time we started a new AI session, the agent had no idea what system it was working in. Not just losing conversation, losing the entire architecture. We kept throwing more context at the problem. It didn't fix it. The problem wasn't retrieval. There was no map.
So we built one.
Ix ingests your codebase and generates a structured architectural map of your systems, subsystems, modules, and dependencies, built deterministically without an LLM inferring structure.
`ix map .` in under 90 seconds on any codebase. 30% fewer tokens on average, sometimes 80%+.
We are not replacing your vector DB or RAG setup. We are solving a different layer entirely. System structure memory, not conversation memory. Open source and good first issues are labeled in the repo for anyone who wants to get involved.
Live on GitHub. Happy to answer questions.
