The shift
Complex software is invisible. That is expensive.
Most organizations cannot see inside their own applications, so every change is a guess.
The old way
- ×Critical relationships span multiple technologies, databases, repositories and applications, and nobody sees them
- ×AI coding agents generate code but miss the big picture, causing blind spots and downstream breakage
- ×Technical debt keeps growing because no one knows which code actually causes production issues
- ×Cloud migration stalls on unknown blockers buried in millions of lines of code
The CAST way
- ✓Deterministic semantic analysis maps real objects, dependencies, transactions and data flows, not probabilistic guesses
- ✓AI agents receive verified architectural context through an MCP server, so they change complex software accurately and safely
- ✓Find the 8% of code causing 90% of significant reliability, security and efficiency issues in production
- ✓Get cloud maturity scores, migration pathways and blocker lists grounded in empirical facts
How it works
From source code to decisions in four steps
From first touch to real results, without the guesswork.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket and Azure DevOps, with deployment on-premises, in the cloud, or as SaaS.
Analyze the code semantically
Deterministic analysis maps code objects, data structures, dependencies, frameworks and cross-application relationships across 450+ technologies.
Get dashboards, maps and call graphs
Executives see portfolio-level scores. Technologists drill into architecture, transactions and data-access paths. Everything is grounded in verified facts.
Put the intelligence to work
Prioritize remediation, plan cloud migration, verify changes before production, and feed the full context to AI agents via MCP.
Features
One intelligence layer for every software decision
From portfolio governance down to a single call path, CAST turns source code into actionable facts.
See inside any application
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of architecture, code, data access and dependencies.
Govern portfolios with facts
CAST Highlight scores technical debt, cloud maturity, open source risks, green software impact and AI readiness across your whole portfolio.
Stop flaws before production
CAST Gatekeeper is a structural integrity gate that applies ISO 5055 rules, detects system-level flaws affecting security, resiliency and efficiency, and recommends remediation paths.
Ground AI agents in reality
An MCP server delivers deterministic architectural context to AI coding agents, so they understand and transform complex software with less rework and risk.
Clear the path to cloud
Identify the best migration candidates, surface blockers, and measure cloud maturity before you commit.

FAQ
Questions about AI + CAST
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 very 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 AI agents can ground their 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. Agents get both a high-level understanding of the system 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.
