About CodeViz

CodeViz is a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension designed to generate interactive diagrams of codebases, ranging from high-level system architecture to detailed function call graphs [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz)[2](https://www.tryfondo.com/blog/codeviz-launches)[5](https://www.codeviz.ai/faqs). Its core purpose is to significantly improve codebase understanding and navigation, thereby boosting developer productivity and reducing the time spent deciphering existing code [2](https://www.tryfondo.com/blog/codeviz-launches)[6](https://eliteai.tools/tool/codeviz). Key features include interactive codebase maps that allow developers to explore the code's structure at various levels of detail, click-to-code navigation for direct access to specific code sections, natural language search for querying the code in plain English, and smart suggestions to assist users in formulating effective search queries [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz). It offers universal language support using large language models (LLMs) and facilitates LLM prompt generation with context from the entire codebase [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz). Diagrams can be shared with other CodeViz users and exported in Mermaid format or as Draw.io files [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz). CodeViz can be used by individual developers to understand complex codebases, development teams to facilitate collaboration, and enterprise-level projects to support large-scale codebases [4](https://unrealspeech.com/ai-apps/codeviz-yc-s24). It assists in onboarding new developers and helps in code refactoring and maintenance [6](https://eliteai.tools/tool/codeviz). The tool's unique selling points include multi-level visualization, AI-powered querying, and a focus on data privacy by processing code locally and maintaining zero-day retention policies with API providers [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz)[6](https://eliteai.tools/tool/codeviz). Technically, CodeViz requires VS Code version 1.60.0 or later and an active internet connection [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz). It uses Anthropic's AI models for diagram generation [5](https://www.codeviz.ai/faqs). CodeViz is integrated with VS Code [1](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz)[2](https://www.tryfondo.com/blog/codeviz-launches)[6](https://eliteai.tools/tool/codeviz). The tool has been recognized as a Y Combinator company (S24) [3](https://www.codeviz.ai/changelog)[4](https://unrealspeech.com/ai-apps/codeviz-yc-s24)[8](https://huntscreens.com/en/products/codeviz-yc-s24). Recent updates focus on performance improvements, enhanced reliability, visualization updates, and code analysis improvements, including major overhauls to the layout engine and platform [3](https://www.codeviz.ai/changelog).
