Inside the product
Intelligence for every software decision
From portfolio governance down to a single call path, CAST gives you the facts.
See inside any application
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of architecture, code, data access, and dependencies.
Structural integrity gates
CAST Gatekeeper analyzes semantics, applies ISO 5055 rules, recommends remediation paths, and connects to your issue tracking systems.
SBOM management
Generate and manage software bills of materials, with open source security and license risk detection across your components.
Cloud readiness, mapped
Identify the best candidates for cloud migration and the blockers standing in the way, before the migration starts.
AI and agentic readiness
Feed AI agents deterministic architectural context through the CAST MCP server, delivered as a Docker container or Windows extension, on-premises or in the cloud.
Green software insights
Measure green software impact and get remediation insights that improve efficiency alongside reliability and security.
Concierge services
Every annual subscription includes complementary concierge services with dedicated specialists.
The case for change
Complex software slows down every initiative
Modernization, cloud migration, and AI adoption all hit the same wall: nobody fully knows what is inside the applications.
The old way
- ×Months of manual discovery before anyone can plan a change
- ×AI coding agents guess at architecture and miss cross-technology dependencies
- ×Technical debt stays invisible until flaws reach production
- ×Cloud blockers surface mid-migration, not before it
The CAST way
- +A deterministic MRI of your software, built from semantic analysis of the actual source code
- +Interactive blueprints of architecture, code objects, data access, and dependencies
- +Structural integrity gates that catch system-level flaws before production, aligned with ISO 5055
- +Architectural context delivered to AI agents via MCP so they work from verified facts, not assumptions
Versus the old way

Your path
From source code to decisions in four steps
Start fast and see the difference within weeks.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps to analyze your code and open-source components.
Semantic analysis runs deep
CAST maps code objects, data structures, dependencies, frameworks, and cross-application relationships across 450+ technologies.
Dashboards and maps appear
Executives get portfolio dashboards; technologists get call graphs, transaction paths, and interactive architecture blueprints.
AI agents get the context
The CAST MCP server hands verified architectural facts to MCP-compatible agents, so changes land with less rework and risk.
Packages
Tiered by portfolio size, not headcount
CAST Highlight subscriptions are priced by the number of applications, regardless of how many developers you have. Each portfolio requires its own subscription.

Answers
Questions teams ask about AI + 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 very effective at generating code, but they can struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships may 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 can ground its work in verified facts.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools or agents?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools an organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, improving your existing AI-enabled workflows without introducing another tool to replace them.
What modernization use cases does AI + CAST support?+
Common use cases include understanding unfamiliar applications, extracting business rules, change-impact analysis, generating documentation and tests, remediating technical debt, removing cloud blockers, identifying microservice candidates, replacing frameworks or databases, and transforming legacy applications.
