Inside the product
Everything you need to understand, improve, and transform software
Four products that work together to give you full visibility from portfolio to line of code.
CAST Imaging
Reverse-engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of architecture, code objects, data access, and dependencies. Enables faster modernization and higher development productivity.
CAST Highlight
Governs software portfolios with empirical facts. Scores technical debt, cloud maturity, open-source risks, green software impact, and AI readiness across hundreds of applications in days.
CAST Gatekeeper
Structural integrity gate that analyzes code semantics, applies ISO 5055 rules, detects system-level flaws before production, recommends remediation paths, and connects to issue tracking systems.
CAST SBOM Manager
Software bill of materials management. Free download. Detects open-source security and license risks across your portfolio.
AI + CAST via MCP Server
Feeds deterministic architectural context to AI coding agents through a secure MCP interface. Deployable as a Docker container or Windows extension, on-premises or in the cloud.
Concierge Services
Dedicated specialists included with every annual subscription to help your teams get to value faster.

From source code to actionable intelligence in four steps
Start fast and see the difference within weeks.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, and other source code repositories. No manual code extraction required.
Semantic analysis runs automatically
CAST performs deterministic semantic analysis across 450+ technologies, mapping code objects, data structures, dependencies, frameworks, and cross-application relationships.
Dashboards and maps generated
Interactive architecture maps, call graphs, quality grades, cloud maturity scores, and risk dashboards are produced - ready for executives, technologists, and AI agents to use.
Teams and AI agents act on verified facts
Developers prioritize remediation, architects plan modernization, and AI coding agents receive factual context through the MCP server to make complex changes with less rework and risk.

Answers
Common questions about CAST
What is AI + CAST?+
AI + CAST combines AI coding agents with deterministic software intelligence. CAST maps the architecture, dependencies, data access, call paths, and structural risks inside an application, then provides that context to AI agents so they can understand and transform complex software more accurately, efficiently, and safely.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI coding agents are effective at generating code but struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships may span multiple technologies, databases, repositories, and applications. CAST gives the agent a factual map of these relationships, reducing blind spots, incorrect assumptions, and unintended downstream impacts.
What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
It means the information is derived through semantic analysis of the actual software rather than inferred or generated probabilistically by an LLM. CAST identifies the application's real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows, and architectural relationships, so the AI agent can ground its work in verified facts.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools or agents?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools an organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, allowing customers to improve their existing AI-enabled workflows without introducing another tool.
What development and modernization use cases can AI + CAST support?+
Common use cases include understanding unfamiliar applications, extracting business rules, performing change-impact analysis, generating documentation and tests, remediating technical debt, removing cloud blockers, identifying microservice candidates, replacing frameworks or databases, and transforming legacy applications.
