What is SourceCodeAnalysis?
Users upload a zip file containing project source code, after which the GPT examines the full structure and files. It provides responses to questions about functionality, organization, or specific elements within the code.
The service suits programmers, teams, or auditors who want quick insights from unfamiliar or large projects. Questions can target anything from high-level architecture to individual components.
