Swimm
Swimm analyzes codebases, extracts business logic, and supports documentation, AI context, and large-scale modernization projects.
Swimm combines deterministic code analysis, AI agents, and subject-matter experts to map dependencies, data flows, business rules, and critical system behavior. It supports legacy and mainframe code, documentation, API extraction, migrations, and AI-ready knowledge bases.
It is aimed at modernization teams, developers, product analysts, CIOs, and enterprises with complex codebases. Pricing is based on lines of code or fixed-price modernization stages; the site does not publish tier prices and directs prospective customers to contact Swimm.
