THE PROBLEM

AI moves faster than your understanding.

Build. Refactor. Fix. Ship. Your AI coding agent can change an entire codebase in minutes. But your mental model doesn’t update that fast.

So many
changes...

Code might work...but you won't know
why it works.

🧐

Where does this service connect?

How does data flow between these modules?

❓

Why does this module exist?

What problem was this solving?

📄

What changed after that refactor?

Which parts are now out of date?

⚠️

Is this architecture still correct?

Are there missing tests or hidden dependencies?

THE SOLUTION

Share a canvas with
your AI agent.

Acute Notes connects your AI coding agent, visual canvas and codebase through MCP.

See, investigate and reason about your software — while your agent helps keep it updated.
