What it does
Four products. One goal: faster, safer software decisions.
Each product targets a specific bottleneck in your software portfolio.
CAST Imaging
Reverse-engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint. See architecture, code objects, data access, and dependencies so modernization starts immediately instead of after months of discovery.
CAST Highlight
Governs software portfolios with empirical facts. Scores technical debt, cloud maturity, open-source risks, green software impact, and AI readiness across every application - fast.
CAST Gatekeeper
A structural integrity gate that applies ISO 5055 rules to catch system-level flaws before production. Recommends remediation paths and connects to your issue tracking systems.
CAST SBOM Manager
Software bill of materials management. Available as a free download so you can start documenting open-source components and risks today.

Your path
From source code to actionable intelligence in four steps
From first touch to real results, without the guesswork.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps to pull source code for analysis. No manual extraction required.
Semantic analysis runs
CAST performs deterministic analysis across 450+ technologies, mapping real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows, and architectural relationships - not probabilistic guesses.
Dashboards and maps appear
Interactive blueprints, call graphs, quality grades, cloud maturity scores, and work-effort metrics are generated and aggregated into portfolio-level dashboards.
Feed context to AI agents
The CAST MCP server delivers architectural context to MCP-compatible AI agents via a secure Docker container or Windows extension, so your existing AI tools work with verified facts.

Questions
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 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 grounds its work in verified facts.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools?+
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 to replace.
What kinds of 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.
