The Onboarding Buddy system leverages large language models and retrieval augmented generation to create an intelligent assistant that helps new developers quickly understand complex codebases.

• Integrates directly into development environments for context-specific support
• Uses chain-of-thought approach to provide more accurate and relevant guidance
• Reduces time and costs associated with traditional onboarding methods
• Adapts dynamically to evolving codebases, unlike static documentation

This innovation addresses a critical challenge in software engineering: the time-consuming and costly process of bringing new developers up to speed on large projects with rapidly changing technologies.
