Walkthrough: a starter question answered with its sources, then the index explorer

1 / 5

What Askbase runs

  • Indexes code, docs, routes, data model and git history in any stack
  • Answers with numbered sources you can open in the side panel
  • Live, read-only queries on PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite and MongoDB
  • Traces why a screen shows what it shows: page, API route, query, then the data
  • Starter questions written from what your project contains
  • Secrets redacted before indexing; an optional access password
Platform
Web, plus a command line
Best for
Teams who inherit or support a codebase
Access
One workspace; optional password
Data
Reads five databases, read-only

Who it is for

  • Teams that inherit code

    Ask how sign-up works or who can delete an invoice, and get the file and line that decide it.

  • Support and product

    Find out why a list shows 33 and not 44 without waiting for a developer.

  • Agencies

    Hand a client a chatbot that knows their project, on their own server.

Live now

Demo access

Try it before you download it. Askbase over Trackline's own source: its files, routes, tables and docs, indexed by Askbase's own ingest. No sign-up, no key needed.

Open the demo

What you can try

The page says which mode it is in: recorded answers, or live answers from Claude.

  • Starter questions

    Recorded

    Real answers from Askbase over Trackline, written in with their sources.

    Open the demo

  • Your own question

    Sources

    The sources Askbase would read, or a live answer when this site has an API key.

    Open the demo

  • Index explorer

    Browse

    Each file, route and table, what it imports and what imports it.

    Open the demo

Nothing to reset: the demo searches its index inside your tab and stores nothing.

On your own machine

Install it and sign in

  1. 1
    npm install
  2. 2
    cp .env.example .env.local # set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  3. 3
    npm run ingest -- --project ../your-project
  4. 4
    npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 and ask away. Set ACCESS_PASSWORD on any deployment others can reach, and give it a read-only database user.

Features

Grouped by where the work happens.

Indexing

4
  • Reads every source file and records what it declares, imports, serves and touches
  • Splits docs into sections by heading; reads git history from commit messages
  • Tables from SQL, migrations and ORM models in any language, and from the live database
  • Redacts private keys, API keys, JWTs and passwords before anything is written

Answering

4
  • Ranks the index against the question, then follows the graph one step
  • Claude answers from those sources only, numbers every one, and says when they don't cover it
  • Searches every line that mentions a name, and reads whole files when it needs more
  • Shows each lookup above the answer; answers stream to the page

Live data

4
  • PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite and MongoDB
  • Read-only queries in a read-only transaction, several in a row if needed
  • Columns that look secret come back hidden
  • Never writes to your database or your project; the index is its only file

Common questions

01. Which stacks does it understand?

JavaScript and TypeScript (React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Express, NestJS), PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), Ruby on Rails, Java and Kotlin (Spring), C# (.NET), Go and more.

02. Can it change my code or data?

No. Database queries run read-only in a read-only transaction, and nothing is written to your project. The only file Askbase writes is its index.

03. What is sent to the model?

Only the sources retrieval picked for the question, plus any query results, are sent to the Anthropic API. The model never reads your files directly.

04. What does a question cost?

Each question sends up to roughly 25k tokens of sources. The sources are cached, so follow-up lookups in the same answer pay about a tenth for them.
