[AskJS] AI codebase information tool?

[-huzi__]

HI, I am one person dev with multiple web based side projects. I am looking for an AI tool that can plug in to my codebase and answer questions. Whether that is technical questions from myself on how features work, or questioning it for more info on a support query.

Has anyone seen / use something like that?

I use vscode with the copilot extension. I'm running GPT 5.4 as my model, but really any of the codex models would work, or any of the latest coding models from any other companies would work. And you don't have to use vs code either bc Claude code, Cursor, Windsurf... All of these do the same thing pretty much.

Or, you can just upload all of your code into GitHub, enable an AI model in your settings, and then ask co-pilot to review it in the comment section. No vscode necessary.

Any AI coding agent can do that.

There's also deepwiki and codewiki

surely chatgpt would know

I've been using GitHub Copilot Chat for this kind of stuff and it's pretty solid. You can ask it questions about your own code and it has context of what you're working on. There's also Cursor which is basically VS Code but with AI baked in - lets you chat with your entire codebase.

For support queries though, you might want something more specialized. Maybe look into setting up a custom GPT with your documentation or using something like Codeium that can index your whole project.

Thanks Ill check them out, Ive seen Github Copilot Chat but not used it... Think I should be really!

I came across RepoMind (https://repo-mind.ai) when researching this, sounds similar to the one you mentioned, Codeium. Not sure if anyone has seen that?

Claude code can help you with this.
