Qodo Aware (RAG)

What is Qodo Aware?

Qodo Aware is the code intelligence engine behind the Qodo platform. It connects to all your repos, analyzes architecture and patterns, and powers AI agents that help you search, understand, and solve technical problems.

Think of it as an AI-powered Principal Engineer, that understands your entire system and helps you move faster with confidence.

Why should I use it?

When used with Qodo Merge, Qodo Aware brings deep, architecture-level understanding directly into your review workflow.

You ask the questions, and Qodo Aware finds the answers from across your entire codebase.

How does it work?

Qodo Aware uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agentic reasoning to understand your codebase:

• Indexing – Builds a deep internal map of your code

• Retrieval – Pulls relevant code, docs, and patterns

• Reasoning – AI agents analyze dependencies and logic

• Generation – Produces grounded, accurate responses

Using Qodo Aware

In order to enable the RAG feature, add the following lines to your configuration file:

enable_rag=true

/ask

/compliance

/implement

/review

The /ask tool can access broader repository context through the RAG feature when answering questions that go beyond the PR scope alone.

The References section displays the additional repository content consulted to formulate the answer.

The /compliance tool offers the Codebase Code Duplication Compliance section which contains feedback based on the RAG references. This section highlights possible code duplication issues in the PR, providing developers with insights into potential code quality concerns.

The /implement tool utilizes the RAG feature to provide comprehensive context of the repository codebase, allowing it to generate more refined code output.

The References section contains links to the content used to support the code generation.

The /review tool offers the Focus area which contains feedback based on the RAG output.

The complete list of references found relevant to the PR will be shown in the References section, helping developers understand the broader context by exploring the provided references.
