How to onboard engineers 10x faster

Finding time to #buildinpublic is never easy — but it’s always worth it.

Today, I’m excited to share one of the newest features we’ve launched at Infinitcode.ai: 👉 Code Explorer

What is Code Explorer?

Code Explorer transforms your repositories into an interactive visual map, allowing you to understand project structure at a glance. Whether you're diving into a new codebase or managing a large enterprise repository, it helps you navigate, explore, and comprehend code faster.

Why it matters

If you’ve ever switched projects or joined a new team, you know the struggle: it can take 1–3 months to truly get up to speed.

Even with onboarding processes in place, most of that context disappears once the onboarding engineer moves on — leaving new developers to start from scratch.

With Code Explorer, we’re making that transition seamless.

It’s designed for fast onboarding, knowledge sharing, and cross-team collaboration — so switching projects no longer means weeks of catching up.

What you can do with Code Explorer

Beyond visualization, Infinitcode AI extends Code Explorer with powerful AI actions:

  1. 🧠 Explain a file or function
  2. 📘 Generate documentation automatically
  3. 🧪 Write unit tests with full coverage suggestions
  4. 🔍 Review files and detect potential issues

Why teams love it

  • Open Source teams: Maintain high-quality documentation for easier adoption and contributions.
  • QA and Dev teams: Automatically generate meaningful test coverage across all branches.
  • Enterprises: Cut onboarding time from months to weeks.

We tested it ourselves — onboarding that used to take up to 3 months now takes just 1–2 weeks. Documentation gaps are gone, and code reviews are faster and more reliable.

Try it yourself
You can explore it right now at infinitcode.ai

💡 Free forever for:

  • Startups with up to 3 team members
  • Open Source projects

Curious to hear what you think — how would Code Explorer fit into your workflow?
