Running out of tokens while developing? Not anymore...
Software systems are too complex to understand.
You read code. You search logs. You still guess.
Ix maps your system instead.
AI can’t reason about systems. LLMs can’t remember them either.
Ix fixes both.
Stop digging through files. Open the map instead.
Ix improves how AI systems reason about your codebase.
30-99.7% fewer tokens on development tasks
Minimum of 43% increase in daily LLM usage
Understand systems in minutes, not hours
Directed context. More signal. Persistent system memory.

Map → Explain → Trace → Impact
Modern systems are not just complex — they're constantly changing.
Every time you switch context, onboard to a new service, or debug a flow, you start from zero.
- knowledge is fragmented across code, logs, and people
- context is lost between sessions
- understanding does not persist
AI doesn’t solve this. It amplifies it — reasoning is limited to the current prompt, and memory disappears between interactions.
Ix is built to fix this at the system level.
- builds a structured map of your system
- captures relationships and flows
- persists understanding over time
- gives both humans and AI a shared source of truth
Stop re-learning your system. Start navigating it.
Ix is most useful for:
- large codebases
- unfamiliar systems
- onboarding new engineers
- debugging complex flows
- improving LLM-assisted development
Ix turns your system into a living map.
Not static diagrams. Not outdated docs.
A map you can explore. A map you can trace. A map that evolves with your system.
With Ix you can:
- Understand architecture instantly
- Trace how anything works
- See impact before making changes
- Debug systems faster
- Build persistent system memory over time
Developers use Ix to explore and understand systems.
LLMs use Ix as persistent system memory.
Instead of guessing from limited context, AI can navigate a real system map — with structure, history, and relationships.
The result:
- better reasoning
- more consistent answers
- understanding that compounds over time
How it works:
- Map — build a system map from code and signals
- Structure — identify boundaries, flows, and relationships
- Remember — persist decisions and system knowledge
- Understand — explore, trace, and analyze with context
A living system map
Your architecture, always up to date.
Trace flows instantly
Follow how anything moves through your system.
Understand impact
See what changes affect before you make them.
Persistent system memory
Knowledge builds over time.
AI-assisted reasoning
Explore systems with both humans and AI.
Every complex system should have a map.
Ix gives you yours.
LLMs process. Ix remembers.
