Your AI agent is coding blind
AI writes code fast, but it cannot see the architecture it is changing. CAST hands agents a deterministic map of every object, dependency, and data path, so complex changes land with less rework and risk.

Common questions
Questions, answered
What is AI + CAST?+
AI + CAST combines AI coding agents with deterministic software intelligence. CAST maps the architecture, dependencies, data access, call paths, and structural risks inside an application, then provides that context to AI agents so they can understand and transform complex software more accurately, efficiently, and safely.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI coding agents are effective at generating code, but they struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships may span multiple technologies, databases, repositories, and applications. CAST gives the agent a factual map of these relationships, reducing blind spots, incorrect assumptions, and unintended downstream impacts.
What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
It means the information is derived through semantic analysis of the actual software rather than inferred or generated probabilistically by an LLM. CAST identifies the application's real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows, and architectural relationships, so the AI agent can ground its work in verified facts.
What kinds of software intelligence does CAST provide to AI agents?+
Application inventories and statistics, internal architectural graphs, cross-application dependencies, transactions, data-access paths, call graphs, object details, source-code locations, and direct and indirect dependencies. This gives the agent both a high-level understanding and the detailed context needed for specific changes.
What development and modernization use cases can AI + CAST support?+
Understanding unfamiliar applications, extracting business rules, change-impact analysis, generating documentation and tests, remediating technical debt, removing cloud blockers, identifying microservice candidates, replacing frameworks or databases, and transforming legacy applications.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools or agents?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools your organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, improving your existing AI-enabled workflows without introducing another tool to replace.
