Questions

Frequently asked questions

What programming languages are supported?

Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, and many legacy languages. Contact us for specific language requirements.

What input sources does CodianoAI support?

Both local directories and Git repositories. Point it at a directory path or a Git URL — remote repositories are cloned and processed automatically.

How does on-premise deployment work?

CodianoAI runs entirely on your infrastructure. No code, data, or documentation ever leaves your environment; only approved API calls to SOC 2 and HIPAA-compliant endpoints are made.

How do I configure the tool?

Run ./CodianoAI init for an interactive setup that guides you through configuring your OpenAI or Azure provider, API keys, and preferences.

How does licensing work?

Machine fingerprinting: on first run, CodianoAI displays a fingerprint you send to the licensing authority. Place the received licence.dat file next to the executable. Licenses are per server deployment.

What output formats are supported?

Clean, structured Markdown with professional Mermaid diagrams — industry-standard formats that integrate with your existing documentation workflows and version control.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. CodianoAI ships with a demo license valid for 7 days or 10,000 lines of code, whichever comes first — evaluate it on your own codebase before purchasing.

What support is included?

Comprehensive documentation and community resources are included. Enterprise support, software updates, and bug fixes are available under an optional SLA.

What platforms are supported?

macOS and Windows, with identical functionality on both.
