What Graphify Labs does
Graphify builds a queryable knowledge graph from your codebase, docs, and Jira. The open-source engine has 105K+ GitHub stars and ~5M downloads, and is used in production by engineers at Rootly, Geotab, Tweddle Group, and Superagent. On top of that graph, our enterprise layer reviews every pull request and formally verifies each code change: it proves the new behavior matches the old, or hands back the exact input that breaks it. That makes it built for the changes teams fear most, like refactors, framework upgrades, and large-scale code migrations, where you need proof that nothing broke, not a guess. The graph updates itself as the code changes and keeps context instead of forgetting it, so your whole team and their coding agents work from one shared, always-current view of the codebase instead of a thousand private threads. It runs entirely inside your perimeter, fully air-gapped on-premise or self-hosted in your own cloud, so no code or data ever leaves your environment.

On-device Knowledge Graph engine for Codebases
Graphify builds an on-device, queryable knowledge graph from your codebase, docs, and Jira. The open-source engine is self-hosted, updates automatically with each code change, and keeps a shared living map of your code for the whole engineering team. Our enterprise layer reviews every pull request and formally verifies behavior at merge time, so you know exactly when a change breaks something. It never sends code or data outside your environment.
