Early access · now onboarding

Give your codebase an engineer that already knows it.

Plug Kernel Code into your repo. It reads everything for a few days, the way a new hire would. After that, ask it to fix a bug or build a feature, and it ships a pull request. Runs on your cloud. Your code never leaves.

How it works

Three steps. Then it's just part of the team.

Think of it like onboarding a senior engineer. The first few days are reading. After that, you give them work.

01

Install

One command deploys Kernel into your cloud account. Uses your existing IAM and networking. Nothing phones home.

≈ 20 MINUTES
02

Onboard

Kernel reads your repos, pull request history, docs, and tickets. It builds a map of how your systems actually work.

2 TO 5 DAYS
03

Build

Assign it a Jira ticket. It investigates, plans, writes the code, runs the tests, opens a PR. Your team reviews.

Why teams use it

Full context, less hand-holding, code that holds up.

A tool that has read your entire codebase makes fewer wrong calls than a person who joined last week, and it never loses that context. Here's what that gets you.

Better code, because it sees everything

Most tools guess from the few files in their window. Kernel has read the whole repo, the history, and the past decisions, so its changes match how your code is actually written. The same retry pattern, the same error handling, the convention your team already settled on.

Faster, with far less human in the loop

No feeding it context, correcting it, re-explaining the codebase every session. You assign a ticket and come back to a finished pull request. Your engineers spend their time reviewing, not babysitting.

Holds the whole system at once

It keeps the entire codebase in context, something no single engineer can do. It works several tickets in parallel, through the night, and every change still arrives as a normal PR your team reviews and merges.

Your code stays on your cloud

Kernel runs inside your own AWS, Azure, or GCP. Nothing goes to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any outside service. Your source, your customer data, your architecture never leave your perimeter. The thing that usually blocks AI adoption in regulated teams just isn't a problem here.

Why it doesn't burn money

Most AI coding tools are expensive because they re-read your code every time.

Kernel reads it once. Then it just remembers. That's the whole architectural trick.

01

Reading happens once, not per request

The expensive part is understanding your codebase. Kernel does that during the onboarding phase. Every task after that uses the map, not the territory.

02

Small models do most of the work

Routing, planning, edits, and lookups run on a small model fine-tuned on your conventions. The expensive frontier model only fires when the task actually needs it.

03

Bring your own inference

Point Kernel at Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, your own GPUs, or any endpoint. You use your existing volume discounts. No middleman markup on tokens.

04

Aggressive caching

Plans, embeddings, and tool outputs are cached against the code graph. Running another task in the same area of the codebase is nearly free.

COST PER TASKESTIMATE
Naive agent loop$8 – $20
RAG + frontier model$2 – $6
Kernel · small-model path$0.05 – $0.20

Typical mix~ $0.15 per task

Based on internal benchmarks across a 2M-line Python and Go codebase. Frontier model fires on roughly 12% of tasks.
