Stewie Reflect — The owner's manual your codebase never came with

Sign inStart freeOwner's Manual · GeneratorThe owner's manual your codebase never came with.<br>You own software you can't fully read — AI helped you build it, or you inherited it, and somewhere along the way you lost the full picture. Stewie Reflect reads one snapshot of your repository and writes an Owner's Manual : what the code actually does, what deserves your attention, where the evidence ends, and which decisions only you can make.<br>Start freeRead a real sample manual<br>In private beta · built in the open<br>SourceOne repo snapshot<br>OutputFull Owner's Manual<br>EvidenceCited & bounded<br>AccessGitHub read-only<br>PriceFree preview → $19

Truth, with receipts<br>Every important claim is tied to evidence from your code. When the manual isn't sure, it says so — explicitly, with labeled evidence boundaries instead of confident guesses.

Attention, ranked by consequence<br>Risks and conflicts come as cards that say what happens, why it matters, and when to look again. The sample manual surfaces 2 critical findings and 17 owner decisions in one place.

Written for owners<br>No code reading required. Plain-language models and figures explain your product, while explicit source boundaries show where the reviewed evidence ends.

01 Sound familiar?<br>Vibe-coded with AI"I vibe-coded my whole product with AI. It works… I think. I honestly couldn't tell you what happens when a payment fails."

Inherited the code"My developer left. I own the code now — I just can't read it, and I don't know what I don't know."

Due diligence"Before I invest more in this codebase, I want an honest second opinion on what's actually in there."

That gap between owning software and understanding it is exactly what an Owner's Manual closes.

02 See a real one<br>We won't ask you to trust a marketing page. This is the complete reviewed manual for a real production accounting application — 7 chapters, every figure and attention card included, labeled as sample content throughout. It is the format and quality target we hold generated manuals to: customer manuals must pass automated quality checks before delivery, and depth varies with each repository's available evidence.<br>Sample manualreview-readyai-bookkeeping-app@reviewed-snapshot<br>Owner's Manual for an AI bookkeeping app<br>7 generated chapters from the reviewed repository snapshot<br>A real generated manual — produced by our engine from one snapshot of a real AI bookkeeping app · 7 chapters · 17 attention items<br>Open the sample manual
