They <br> own code they cannot read, explain, or modify.</p> <p>Codebrief fixes that. You paste a public GitHub URL and <br> get a plain English breakdown of what every file does and <br> how they all connect. Powered by Gemini 2.5.</p> <p>Built with React, Vite, and the Gemini API. Deployed on <br> Vercel. Built by a 22-year-old developer from <br> the Eastern Cape, South Africa.</p> <p>Try it free: codebrief-ten.vercel.app</p> <p>I would love honest feedback — especially on what would <br> make you pay for a Pro version.</p> ai gemini github showdev
