Unfolding data flows
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about Abstraction and how it works.
Software is eating the world faster than ever — as is our need to understand it.
Developers and agents alike spend more resources on gathering context and building understanding than actually writing code. And every new line of code compounds the problem.
As systems grow, the system knowledge scope expands, onboarding times increase from days to months and agent performance drops as context rots. Abstraction provides a solution to this problem.
Abstraction builds a structured, hierarchical abstraction of your codebase that stays in sync automatically. From architecture to individual control flows — always accurate and up to date. Progressive disclosure lets agents access the right level of detail without wasting tokens to re-explore old code.
If you work with software, Abstraction is built for you. Our core lies in helping developers navigate production systems at scale by making onboarding, planning, and code review faster.
We also provide dedicated interfaces for coding agents via MCP.
AI coding tools help you write code. Abstraction helps you understand it. Unlike other tools that generate AI-written wikis, we use an algorithmic-first approach that guarantees correctness, not "best-effort" guesses.
Developers can contribute and steer the documentation, adding context that stays accurate as the codebase evolves.
Every process diagram and architecture view we present is derived from compiled version of the code — no guesswork or room for hallucination. We add abstraction layers that respect logical boundaries, enabling us to explain complex system behavior in a simple way that you can trust.
If it's in the diagram, it's in the code.
AI agents start every task from scratch. No memory, no accumulated understanding. It's like having your entire engineering team go through full onboarding for every single question. Markdown files and agent.md configs don't scale; when they go out of date, they become a liability rather than an asset.
Abstraction gives the agent a persistent, structured understanding of your codebase. Work that's already been done doesn't need to be redone. Context that's already been built doesn't need to be rebuilt. Fewer tokens wasted, faster results, and an understanding that compounds over time instead of resetting.
We only provide authentication through trusted providers like GitHub and Google. Repository access is strictly enforced so that no one can access any code that they shouldn't. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never train on your code.
For organizations that require full control, on-premise deployment is available.
We're onboarding design partners right now and will be rolling out access in waves.
