That system nobody dares to touch? AI lays it all out.
Years of rules, fixes and feedback are built into it. We carry that knowledge into a clean state that your team can maintain again.
Book an Overhaul ReviewThe system works.
Cleaning it up is still on the backlog.
- A fix in one place breaks something else.
- Bugs you can’t reproduce, but can’t ignore.
- Every release means testing the whole system by hand.
- A small change takes three months to ship.
But everything it does is buried in the code.
What AI lays out
Piecing together how the system works is what kept the cleanup on the backlog. Today, it’s agent work.
Agents handle the bulk.
- Read every module, script and variant, and write down what it does
- Pin down today’s behavior in tests
- Map what depends on what
Nine million lines in five months.
Morgan Stanley’s AI read nine million lines of the bank’s code and wrote down what each part does; its engineers rewrite from those specifications. The bank counts 280,000 developer hours saved (Wall Street Journal).
But the architecture stays with the engineers.
The agents’ specifications go to engineers, who design the new system and build it. Morgan Stanley’s head of technology says none of the bank’s AI work is possible without a well-thought-out architecture.
Engineers do the hard part.
- Find every rule, explicit or implicit
- Decide what is repaired and what is rebuilt
- Steer the agents so nothing is left out and nothing is wrong
Is this for you?
We’re the right call if
- What the system does was never written down, but it has to keep doing all of it.
- It does far more than it was designed for, and every change shows it.
- It has years ahead of it, and the backlog keeps growing.
We’re the wrong call if
- The tangle sits between your ERP, CRM and billing systems.
- You want someone to take over running and maintaining it.
- You want one bug fixed and the rest left as it is.
If you are unsure, the review is where we tell you.
Book an Overhaul ReviewHow it works
Your system stays live the whole way. Nothing changes until tests pin down how it behaves today.
Review: thirty minutes, free.
You show us the system; we tell you where the value sits, where the state blocks you, and whether we are the right call.
Assessment: two to four weeks.
Agents analyze the whole system. Our engineers deliver three things: what the system does, written down in tests and documentation; a plan that says which parts are repaired and which are rebuilt; and a first part done and running.
Overhaul: part by part, in production.
Repaired where the structure holds, rebuilt where it doesn’t: one configurable core for all variants, an owned layer between the tools, in increments, with the system live throughout.
Handover: your team owns it.
Code, tests, documentation and the guardrails the agents work within stay with you, agent‑ready.
Google, Cursor and Arduino build on tools we started.
We have built the languages and tooling that keep complex engineering software maintainable for years. Agents now handle the bulk, steered and checked by the kind of tooling we have built for a decade.

The people who do the work.
We dig into the problem before we solve it.
We take the time to learn your domain. Asking now is cheaper than refactoring later.
We deliver a first result you can see, fast.
You get a first version to judge for yourself. We fit into your process, or propose a roadmap.
We work side by side with you and your team.
You talk directly to the engineers who do the work, with one stable contact throughout.
We advise you honestly and build to last.
You’ll hear early what won’t work well, with an alternative. Tests matter as much as features.
»TypeFox has been an outstanding partner from day one. They are reliable, provide high-quality work and are easy to interact with. The collaboration has been excellent, and we look forward to continuing to build on it.«
David Perez, Director of Embedded Developer Tools, Analog Devices
