Sage is an open-source AI developer assistant designed to help engineers understand and work with complex codebases more effectively. The tool functions similarly to an intelligent research agent that can analyze a repository and answer questions about how the software works. Instead of focusing solely on code generation, Sage emphasizes code comprehension, system architecture analysis, and integration guidance. Developers can ask natural language questions about a project, and the system responds with explanations supported by references to the relevant code, documentation, or external technical resources. The project aims to act as a contextual knowledge layer for software teams by combining language models with repository indexing and documentation retrieval. Sage can operate locally or connect to external AI services, depending on the configuration, providing flexibility for privacy-sensitive environments.
