Adrenaline

As AI code assistants go, Adrenaline is narrow on purpose: it answers questions about code you already have rather than writing new code from scratch.

Adrenaline is an AI code assistant that explains code and responds to code-related questions using a GitHub repository or a pasted snippet as its source.

You give it access to the code, ask in plain language what a function does or how a section fits together, and get an answer right away.

It can analyze large codebases, so it suits the moment when you inherit a project and need to understand complex code someone else wrote.

That can cut down the time you would spend reading through files and hunting for context.

The catches are plain.

Pricing is free, but usage is limited to 5 questions, which a big project will use up fast.

Adrenaline also needs access to the codebase, either through GitHub or a snippet, so you cannot ask it general questions without code to point at.

Answers will only be as good as the code you feed it, and messy, uncommented repositories will likely get weaker explanations.
