Grappl™

Enabling faster code delivery and code innovation

The Challenge

Developers spend much of their coding time navigating pain points such as: deciphering existing code, locating bugs, identifying potential breakages, and communicating code impact to their team.

The Solution

Grappl™ is a coding companion which enables users to comprehend and navigate complicated pieces of code. Its CodeLink™ feature enforces best-practice coding standards and tags design items to their source code. This reduces code maintenance times and enables faster code delivery.

Its AirView™ feature transforms a codebase and its architecture into an intuitive 3D landscape to provide a high-level overview of its structure. Such visualisation helps to flag design risks and communicate progress to collaborators.

The Investment

The development and early-stage commercialisation of Grappl™ has been supported by funding from AUT Ventures and KiwiNet. AUT Ventures is currently working towards launching a start-up from Spherelose™ in 2024.
