1. Quick Q&A search - type a natural question and the bot pulls the exact code snippet.
2. Repo-wide context - the AI keeps the whole project in mind, so answers are accurate and not just random snippets.
3. Privacy-first - it never stores your code after analysis, and it's SOC2 Type II compliant.
4. Fast indexing - even a 200-file Flask app loads in minutes, not hours.
5. GitHub login integration - no extra setup, just the credentials you already use.
6. Team-friendly (basic) - share a chat link with teammates, but full collaboration is still in beta.
7. Unlimited queries on paid plans - free tier limits you to a handful of questions.
8. Multi-language support - works with Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and more.
9. Custom prompts - tweak the AI to focus on architecture or security.
10. Real-time updates - as you push commits, the AI refreshes its index automatically. Developers, product managers, and open-source contributors all find value here. New hires can skip the long read-me slog and dive straight into the code. Senior devs can review PRs faster by asking the bot to explain a function's purpose.
Open-source maintainers can surface hidden bugs or missing documentation by querying the codebase. Compared to generic IDE search or large-language-model chatbots, Getonboard stays grounded in your actual repository. It cuts hallucination risk and delivers context-aware answers that are immediately actionable.
Plus, the UI is a one-page chat, so you don't have to learn a new IDE plugin. Ready to stop hunting for a function in a maze of files? Sign up with GitHub, paste a repo link, and ask your first question. You'll see how fast the AI can turn a stack of code into a clear roadmap.
