OBY

Works on code your team wrote years ago · Runs on your own machine · Nothing leaves your business

CodeBridge is approved under Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program and holds OpenAI Codex security verification.

Our organisation has been independently reviewed against Anthropic’s security, data-handling and agent-safety standards, and separately verified by OpenAI for security-focused use of Codex.

OBY: THE MAP OF THE CODEBASE

Understand the full impact before changing a single line

Real software is a web of interdependent parts, and in large or legacy systems, no one sees the whole. Change one piece, and others break, often where you least expect it. OBY maps how everything connects, so before a single line is touched, you can see exactly what depends on it, leaving your team and the AI alongside them able move quickly, without the risk of costly mistakes.

  • 100%: Every AI given OBY found exactly what a change would affect
  • Minutes: Answers that once took half a day come back in minutes
  • Private: Your code stays on your own computer and is never sent away
  • Any AI: The cheapest model with OBY beat the priciest model working blind
  • Plug-in ready: Fits into the systems you already run
WHY IT MATTERS

Old, important software is where the money and the risk both live.

The systems your business actually runs on are the ones with years of history nobody fully remembers. Mapping them is the step that makes every change safe to do.

  • A fix in one place, quietly breaks something three modules away.
  • Nobody wants to touch the critical old system, so it never improves.
  • Every estimate is a guess because no one knows the full knock-on effect.
  • New developers take months before they can change anything safely.

Three steps, and the guesswork is gone.

1

Map it once

Point OBY at your codebase and it builds a complete map of how every part connects, including the old code no one remembers, knows or fully understands.

2

Ask before you touch it

Before changing any code, ask OBY: “If I change this, what else is affected?” Your team asks, and OBY’s map shows the full impact so you can proceed without guesswork.

3

Get the full picture

You get a complete, accurate view of every affected piece of code, so changes go ahead with full context, not on assumptions.

Four things that used to be hard, made simple.

Know what a change touches

Before you edit anything, see every part of the system that relies on it, so nothing gets broken by accident.

Find your way around fast

Drop into a system no one has touched in years and understand how it fits together in minutes, not weeks.

Give your AI the full picture

Your AI answers from how the code really connects, so it stops guessing or inventing things that are not there.

Spot the gaps

A missing answer is not a clean bill of health. OBY shows you where the blind spots are, so they get checked properly.

  • Fix the bugs that were too risky to touch before.
  • Close the security holes hiding in the old code.
  • Speed up function where it has quietly become slow.
  • Write the plan of works, grounded in what is really there.

Built to bring old, real-world projects back up-to-date.

Once the map is in place, the work that used to be too risky becomes a single coordinated pass.

THE COST NO ONE BUDGETS FOR

When the person who understands your code base leaves, so does the knowledge on your system.

On most older systems the real knowledge lives in one or two people’s heads, not in any document. When they take leave, retire, or resign, the work slows to a crawl and every change turns risky. OBY turns that knowledge into something the whole team, and any AI, can work with simply. You are no longer one resignation away from frozen, and no longer held to ransom by the only person who knows how it all fits together.

Onboarding in days, not quarters

A new developer can ask what a change in code might affect, and gets the answer at once, instead of spending months absorbing how it all works.

Key-person risk, gone

The knowledge lives in the system, not in one head, so a resignation or retirement is an inconvenience instead of a ice age.

Churn you can survive

When someone leaves, their replacement is productive in days, so turnover stops being a financial crisis.

WE MEASURED IT

The cheapest AI with the OBY map beat the most expensive AI without it.

We took a functioning twenty-year-old code base with more than a million lines of code, and asked different AIs (Codex GPT 5.5, Opus 4.8, Sonnet) a simple but dangerous question: “if I change this one piece of code, what else will change?” Working blind, the most expensive model got it wrong. Another burned through more than a million words of effort on a single question and still missed it. Given OBY, every model got it completely right, including the cheapest one, in a fraction of the time and in token usage. The OBY map does the job, so the model becomes the cheap part. The same lift held across AI from three different models.

WHY IT WORKS

A program on your machine, not a service in the middle.

Most AI tools

  • Reach your code through a middleman service (often an MCP).
  • One more thing to run, secure, update and pay for.
  • Your code passes through it, so it can leak or be logged.
  • Every answer waits in a queue, so it is slower.

OBY

  • A single program on your own machine, built in Rust.
  • Nothing extra to run alongside it, nothing to keep patched.
  • Your code never leaves, so there is nothing in the middle to leak it.
  • Your AI talks to it directly and gets an answer in real time .

Change critical Infrastructure without holding your breath.

If your team is nervous about touching an aged brown field code base, this is the tool that takes the fear out of it.
