# ExplainGitHub API

## ExplainGitHub API lets you build repo-aware AI features

Use repository context to power codebase chat, developer copilots, support tools, and internal workflows.

### Customer-facing developer products

Add “ask this repository”, PR summaries, issue copilots, or codebase chat directly into your product experience.

### Internal engineering and support tools

Help engineering, support, QA, or ops teams get answers from private repositories without manually searching code and docs.

### Docs, onboarding, and automation

Power docs assistants, developer onboarding flows, CI helpers, or internal automation that needs repository context.

### Instantly Understand Any GitHub Repository

Save hours of code review time with our official browser extension
