Intraview

Finally, AI can show its work.

Interactive code tours with AI that happen directly in your IDE. Stop reading about code in chat—walk through it line by line with an AI agent that highlights exact references and stays on track.

Modern codebases evolve faster than our mental models can. Intraview keeps them in sync.

Who This Is For

Developers using AI code assistants who want to:

  • Understand, not just read - Walk through code with guided tours, not disconnected explanations
  • Stay in flow - Never leave your IDE to decode what AI means
  • Learn faster - Mental model alignment as codebases evolve
  • Verify quickly - See exact references, not descriptions
  • Give feedback with code/line context - Reduce the number of chat turns by batching feedback with references to your code.

If you're learning a new codebase, reviewing complex implementations, or exploring how systems actually work, Intraview accelerates understanding.

What You Get

  • AI-guided code tours: Your AI agent navigates through files, highlights key sections, and explains the flow
  • Structured feedback collection: Leave comments and questions at specific lines with full context preserved
  • Deep technical walkthroughs: Multi-file journeys through authentication flows, API implementations, and system architectures
  • Understanding of how and why: Not just what the code does, but why it was built this way and how it all connects
  • Zero configuration: Works immediately after installation with any MCP-compatible AI agent
  • Cross-editor support: Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other VS Code-based editors

Free Forever

Free forever: Code tours, feedback collection, navigation, and all core features for non-commercial. We believe understanding code should be accessible to everyone.

Premium features coming: Team collaboration, advanced feedback analytics, tour sharing, and enterprise integrations. These will be optional paid features for teams who need more.

Getting Started

  1. Install the extension

    # From VS Code Marketplace (coming soon)
    Search for "Intraview" in Extensions
    
    # Or install from VSIX file
    code --install-extension intraview-*.vsix
    
    # Or use SHIFT+COMMAND+P (on mac) and search for `Extensions: Install from VSIX`
    #    lookup the file and it should install
    
  2. Open a project in VS Code

    cd your-project
    code .
    
  3. Ask your AI agent to use Intraview

    "Use Intraview to show me how the authentication system works"
    
  4. Follow along as your AI guides you

    • The extension activates automatically
    • Your AI will navigate to relevant files
    • Ask questions at any point in the tour

Example Prompts

Copy and paste these to get started:

PR Pattern:

"Create a tour to help me understand the context, dependencies, risks and implementation related to PR #N.

Onboarding:

"Create an Intraview tour to guide a new developer through this repository. Consider standards, best practices, build and testing in your tour."

Understanding Security Models:

"Create an Intraview tour about how the authentication system works - I want to understand the security model and token validation process"

Performance Deep Dive:

"Walk me through this database query optimization with an Intraview tour - explain the performance implications of the indexes and join strategies"

Architecture Exploration:

"Guide me through the event-driven architecture - I need to understand how messages flow through the system"

AI Compatibility

Works with any MCP-enabled AI assistant:

  • Claude (via Claude Desktop or API)
  • Cursor AI
  • Windsurf AI
  • Codex
  • Gemini (with MCP bridge)
  • Deepseek
  • Any AI coding assistant that supports Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Note: Some editors may not have Intraview available in their extension marketplace yet. If you can't find it in your editor's extension store, you can install it manually using the VSIX file (see Getting Started above).

Simple instruction for your AI: "Use Intraview to guide me through the code"
