Hearth & Alloy
Where AI and developers forge stronger code together
We believe the future of software development isn't AI replacing developers—it's AI and developers combining their unique strengths. Hearth & Alloy creates tools that make this collaboration natural, effective, and transformative.
Building the future of human-AI collaboration in software development
Our Approach
The Foundation for AI-Developer Collaboration
🔥 CodeForge
AI-Powered Code Analysis
Where code gets stronger through AI analysis that truly understands your architecture. CodeForge combines cutting-edge AI with deep codebase awareness to provide security, performance, and risk analysis that actually makes sense for your specific system.
🧠 Context-Aware Analysis
- AI that understands your architecture and dependencies
- Recommendations that fit your specific codebase patterns
- Analysis that respects your team's coding standards and invariants
⚡ Developer-Friendly
- Integrates seamlessly into existing workflows
- Catches issues before they reach production
- Collaboration-first: AI insights, human decisions
The Vision
Better Together: How AI and Developers Complement Each Other
🧠 What Developers Excel At
- Domain Knowledge - Understanding business context and user needs
- Creative Problem Solving - Innovative approaches to complex challenges
- System Thinking - How components interact across the entire architecture
- Intuition - Spotting patterns and potential issues from experience
- Strategic Decisions - Knowing when to optimize, refactor, or rebuild
🤖 What AI Excels At
- Pattern Recognition - Analyzing thousands of code patterns instantly
- Consistency - Never tired, never distracted, always thorough
- Knowledge Synthesis - Drawing from vast databases of best practices
- Speed - Analyzing entire codebases in seconds
- Compliance Checking - Remembering every regulation and standard
🔥 The Magic Happens When They Work Together
Developers focus on what they do best—architecting, creating, and solving complex problems—while AI handles the detailed analysis, pattern detection, and routine safety checks. But here's the key: AI needs to understand your codebase to be truly helpful.
How It Works
The Smart Analysis Approach
1. Understand Architecture
CodeForge first learns your codebase structure—how modules connect, who owns what, and what patterns matter to your team.
2. Context-Aware Analysis
Instead of generic scanning, AI analysis is tailored to your specific architecture, constraints, and coding standards.
3. Relevant Recommendations
Get actionable insights that actually make sense for your system, not generic warnings that waste your time.
Real Collaboration in Action
🔍 Understanding Your Architecture
Generic AI: "I see you're making database changes, but I don't understand how this fits into your system."
CodeForge: "I see you're modifying the payments module. Based on your architecture, this impacts the billing service and compliance reporting. Here are the specific risks to consider..."
🛡️ Security Analysis
Generic AI: "This could be a SQL injection vulnerability."
CodeForge: "This change in the user-service module could expose customer PII, which violates your coding standards. The data flows to analytics-service and reporting-api."
⚡ Performance Impact
Generic AI: "This query might be slow."
CodeForge: "This query change affects the high-traffic checkout flow. Based on your dependency patterns, it impacts user-experience and payment-processing modules. Consider indexing or caching."
🔄 Deployment Planning
Generic AI: "Database migration detected."
CodeForge: "This migration affects 3 services in your real-time layer. Based on your deployment patterns, recommend deploying during low-traffic window and monitoring these specific metrics."
The Results
What Changes When AI Truly Understands Your Code
🎯 Relevant Insights
No more generic warnings that don't apply to your specific architecture. AI recommendations that actually make sense for your system.
⚡ Faster Decisions
Skip the context-gathering phase. AI already knows your system, so you get to the real analysis faster.
🛡️ Better Security
Security analysis that understands data flows, access patterns, and your specific compliance requirements.
📈 Compound Benefits
The more your AI understands your codebase, the better its recommendations become. It's an investment that pays increasing dividends.
About Hearth & Alloy
🔥 Forging Stronger Software
Just as metallurgists discovered that alloys are stronger than pure metals, we believe development teams are stronger when they combine human expertise with AI support. Our hearth is where that collaboration happens.
We're not building AI to replace developers—we're building tools that make AI a better collaborator.
🛠️ Built by Developers, for Developers
We understand the frustration of AI tools that give generic advice because they don't understand your specific codebase. That's why we started with the mapping problem first.
Our tools are designed to integrate naturally into how you already work, not force you to change your entire process.
