Glue
How It WorksAbout
Product Intelligence for Engineering Teams

Talk to Your Codebase

Understand your entire codebase in seconds. Ask questions, discover patterns, and ship faster with AI that knows your code.

Glue turns your repos into a living product model -- so anyone can see what's built, what's at risk, and what to build next.

2 minutes to first insight. No credit card. SOC 2 Type II compliant.
glue.tools/dashboard

Built by engineers with 20+ years building software in regulated industries -- where not understanding your codebase isn't an inconvenience, it's a compliance violation.

The understanding gap is widening every sprint

AI tools help your team write code faster than ever. Cursor writes code. Copilot writes code. Your codebase grows 3x faster -- and your team's understanding stays the same.

Nobody's helping teams understand what's already been built. The gap between "code produced" and "code understood" is the most expensive problem in software -- and it gets worse every quarter.

The problems you face every week

You're making product decisions about a system you can't see. Here's what that costs.

"Do we already have this?"

You ask 3 engineers, wait 2 days, and still aren't sure. There's no feature inventory. No way to see what's been built without reading code.

95% of PMs can't read code-- airfocus / Gitnux 2024

"How long will this take?"

You commit to a timeline based on an estimate that's a guess. Hidden dependencies surface late. Scope creeps. The roadmap slips.

66% of projects have cost overruns-- McKinsey / Standish Group

"What are competitors shipping?"

Competitive analysis lives in a spreadsheet disconnected from your codebase. You can't tell what you already have vs. what you'd need to build.

$2-$10M/year lost to poor competitive selling-- Crayon State of CI 2024

"Why does every spec cause rework?"

Your specs miss hidden dependencies and existing patterns because you can't see the code. Engineers discover problems mid-build. Rework eats the sprint.

What Glue gives you

Glue connects your GitHub repos, tickets, and tools into a living product model. Then it gives you four things no other tool can.

Sourcegraph searches code. Cursor writes code. Glue understands your product.

AI chat answering a codebase question with file references and call graph data
01

Ask your codebase anything

"How does checkout work?" "Who owns the auth module?" Ask in plain English, get answers backed by actual files and call graphs -- in 8 seconds.

Auto-discovered feature inventory showing features, files, and workflows
02

See every feature you've built

AI auto-discovers features from your codebase using graph analysis. Always current. No manual documentation. Your living feature inventory.

Competitive gap analysis showing feature coverage scores and impact ratings
03

Know what competitors have that you don't

AI researches competitor features and scores each gap against your actual codebase coverage (0-100%). Know what to build next -- and how hard it'll be.

Dev plan showing specific files to modify with dependency analysis
04

Get specs engineers actually trust

Generate implementation plans with the exact files to modify, dependencies to watch, and patterns to follow -- grounded in your real architecture.

Every repo you connect deepens the graph. Every question refines the model. Every team member who joins adds context. Glue builds a compound understanding of your product that no individual on your team has -- and no competitor can replicate.

Sound familiar?

These are real voices from engineering and product teams. We didn't write them. We built Glue because we kept hearing them.
