Common Engineering Challenges

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Lost Architectural Context

Architectural decisions are buried in Slack, Linear, Notion, and old PRDs, making it hard to understand why past tradeoffs were made.

Slow Engineering Ramp

New engineers take months to understand system design, service dependencies, and historical decisions before contributing confidently.

Growing Documentation Debt

Documentation falls out of sync with the codebase, forcing engineers to rely on outdated docs or tribal knowledge.

Tribal Knowledge Risk

Critical system knowledge lives with a handful of senior engineers, creating bottlenecks and operational risk.

Here's how implicit solves these challenges

Technical Onboarding & Codebase Knowledge

Give engineers instant access to architectural decisions, system context, and setup guidance through an always-on engineering brain.

What to include in your Knowledge Base

Architecture docs, ADRs, README files, technical RFCs, and Loom walkthroughs are centralized into a single engineering knowledge hub.

How to use the AI Navigator

New engineers ask questions like “Why did we choose Postgres over MongoDB?” and receive source-linked answers tied to past decisions.

What you can create with Content Studio

Generate onboarding checklists, service dependency maps, and environment setup guides directly from technical documentation.

Architectural Decision Repository

Capture and visualize design tradeoffs, RFCs, and ADRs so engineers can query past decisions before making new ones.

What to include in your Knowledge Base

Technical design docs, RFCs, Slack architecture discussions, and post-mortems are consolidated into a structured decision archive.

How to use the Knowledge Graph

Visualize relationships between services, architectural decisions, and technical constraints across the system.

How to use the AI Navigator

Engineers query past decisions to understand tradeoffs and context before making new architectural choices.

Internal API & Developer Documentation

Turn API specs, integration examples, and changelogs into a developer assistant, accessible from Slack or IDE workflows.

What to include in your Knowledge Base

OpenAPI specs, code comments, integration examples, and changelogs are unified into one searchable developer resource.

How to use the AI Navigator

Developers ask questions like “How do I authenticate against the v2 Users API?” and receive accurate, source-backed guidance.

What you can create with Content Studio

Auto-generate API migration guides and integration tutorials from existing specs and documentation.

How teams use the Slack Integration

Developers query API documentation directly from Slack without switching tools.

Incident Response & Post-Mortem Knowledge

Connect runbooks and past incidents into a source-backed troubleshooting engine that accelerates debugging and reduces repeat failures.

What to include in your Knowledge Base

Runbooks, past incident post-mortems, service architecture docs, and monitoring guides are connected into one incident knowledge base.

How to use the AI Navigator

Engineers ask questions like “How do I debug database connection pooling issues?” and receive structured, evidence-backed troubleshooting steps.

What you can track with Analytics

Identify the most common incident patterns to prioritize reliability improvements and system hardening.
