Understand Anything
Understand Anything is an interactive code analysis tool that turns codebases into explorable knowledge graphs.
Understand Anything is an AI-powered code analysis tool that turns any codebase into an interactive knowledge graph. Unlike traditional code graphs that only show files and functions as a basic map, it illustrates meaning by connecting code to real business domains, processes, and flows like authentication and payment pipelines. Users can explore every file, function, and dependency, or switch to business knowledge mode to understand the system. It supports Dockerfiles, Terraform, SQL, Markdown, and over 26 file types in one unified graph. The platform includes smart filtering, semantic search, dependency path finding, and AI-generated guided tours for onboarding. It integrates with tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI, and allows users to export data to PNG, SVG, or JSON formats.
