AI Kernel Explorer
Made with ❤️ by Jay Mathis
Explore the Linux kernel source code with AI-generated summaries
The Linux kernel is a large and complex codebase, with over 30 million lines of code. Understanding the codebase can be challenging, especially for newcomers. To help developers navigate the codebase more easily, this is a lightweight tool that uses GPT-4o to generate summaries of the Linux kernel source code as you explore.
