CoreStory, a Berkeley-based innovator in AI-powered code intelligence, has officially launched its platform to tackle the challenges of aging legacy applications and systems. By uncovering hidden insights in code, CoreStory enables enterprises to accelerate software modernization with speed, efficiency, and confidence, transforming outdated codebases into valuable strategic assets.
CoreStory's AI-powered code intelligence platform scans large language models to reverse engineer documentation and extract fundamental insights from legacy code. This structured understanding captures business requirements, system relationships, and developer intent, making it easier for organizations to manage and modernize aging software systems without comprehensive blueprints.
Enterprises today struggle with maintaining legacy applications as they shift to digital and cloud-based infrastructures. CoreStory addresses this by providing detailed intelligence that augments developer activities, aligning with Gartner's projection that 75% of engineers will use AI code assistants, with 63% of organizations already testing or deploying such technology.
“Across all industries, organizations are looking to digitally transform their infrastructure but are quickly finding out that they lack the historical knowledge or context,” said Mike Lambert, CoreStory COO. “CoreStory is removing these barriers with an AI-driven code intelligence platform. Within days, rather than months, we uncover the original business requirements hidden in the code and then provide architectural and code insights for modernization. CoreStory turns legacy code into a strategic asset so enterprises can understand it at every level.”
The platform supports four primary use cases: legacy app modernization, where it analyzes code to model intelligence for successful projects; application maintenance, enabling fast navigation of codebases; AI-generated coding, creating models to avoid black box issues; and developer onboarding, providing intelligence models to boost productivity and governance.
“Even the most capable AI systems improve with a higher quality of input. By integrating with CoreStory, applications like Devin, Cognition’s autonomous AI software engineer, better understand complex legacy applications through CoreStory’s precise, natural language system representations,” said Brian Smitches, Head of Partner Deployed Engineering at Cognition. “As more organizations look to improve their maintenance and reliability efforts or a complete modernization of their technology stack, CoreStory’s integration into Devin unlocks legacy code, enabling our customers to guess less and build more.”
“Traditionally, modernization projects were conducted by experts who reviewed the code line-by-line, which typically takes 18 months or longer,” said Anand Kulkarni, founder and CEO of CoreStory. “Our AI-based approach allows these companies to rethink the requirements in the code and applications, adding in more functionality and features. CoreStory lowers the barriers to entry and provides enterprises with radical savings.”
Available now, CoreStory advances the software development lifecycle by providing AI-powered insights that benefit developers, project planners, and testers, improving efficiency at every stage.
This launch positions CoreStory as a key player in reimagining legacy code migration and application maintenance, leveraging AI to unlock business and technical value for enterprises navigating digital transformation.
CoreStory is reimagining the legacy code migration and application maintenance market by leveraging AI intelligence models.
