Knows delivery best.
Ramp onto an unfamiliar codebase, without chasing people.
Everything a new engineer needs to know already exists across tickets, threads, docs, and code. Ask Virgo about the service you inherited, in your own words, and it finds the answers for you.

Every question becomes an interruption
Asking around works, and people are glad to help. It just runs on their calendars, and week one has forty questions.

Predates the retro.
Ask in your words. Virgo finds the system’s.
The answers live under names week one does not know yet: quiet hours, dedupe window, NOTIF-341. Ask plainly, and Virgo walks the graph to the entities behind them.

Every corner, already connected
This is what ramped looks like: each trace of the service feeds the same graph, so whatever corner you ask about arrives with its reasoning attached.
The same briefing pays off for people and agents
Assembled once, it serves the engineer inheriting the service and the agents they bring along.
For engineers
Ramp by asking, in your own words.
The design, the constraints, and the incidents arrive connected, with their sources, so week one goes to the work.
- What it is: the spec and the boundaries behind it.
- How it got here: the decisions that still shape it.
- What to watch for: the incidents and retros on the record.
For AI agents
Every new agent starts cold too.
Each coding agent a new hire opens begins with no idea how the system fits together. Pointed at the graph, it reads the same assembled history, over MCP, and writes against the real boundaries instead of a generic version of them.
