About Stellarion
Building the foundation for intelligent, sustainable AI-assisted development
Our Mission
Our mission is to make AI-assisted coding on-prem, efficient, and focused on improving code quality—not just generating more code. We believe AI should help engineers build better software while keeping quality, trust, and cost under control.
Why We Built Stellarion
Stellarion was born from firsthand experience with the limits of AI coding tools.
While refactoring a large legacy driver codebase, we relied heavily on AI assistants. Simple changes worked well. Deeper refactors exposed familiar issues: shallow context, missed relationships, and confident hallucinations. The core problem wasn't the models—it was an incomplete understanding of the codebase.
So we built our own foundation:
- On-prem, full-repository indexing
- Semantic search across real code relationships
- Quality and refactoring metrics to evaluate impact
With better context and structure, AI workflows became more reliable. Less context was needed, refactors were cleaner, and outcomes were easier to trust. That internal system evolved into Stellarion.
The Challenge We're Addressing
As AI-assisted development accelerates, teams are producing code faster than ever. While this speed is powerful, it introduces new risks: inconsistent quality, technical debt accumulation, and exponentially growing codebases.
Without the right tools, this code explosion exacerbates existing problems rather than solving them. Teams struggle to evaluate whether AI-generated results are actually better. Velocity increases, but so does the risk of quality erosion.
Stellarion brings clarity to that problem.
What We Believe
- AI should augment engineering judgment, not replace it
- Code quality should be measurable, not aspirational
- On-prem matters for trust, security, and scale
- Efficiency follows from strong fundamentals, not shortcuts
Stellarion is not a chat interface or a code generator. It is the foundation layer that helps teams use AI in a disciplined, sustainable way.
The Stellarion Team
Stellarion is built by experienced software engineers and engineering leaders with a collective 100+ years of industry experience. We've worked across diverse projects—from scrappy startups to enterprise-scale systems—navigating vastly different codebases, budgets, and efficiency requirements.
We care deeply about:
- Code quality: Building software that stands the test of time
- Developer efficiency: Reducing friction so engineers can focus on solving hard problems
- Trust and reliability: Creating tools that engineering teams can depend on in production
- Sustainable development: Balancing velocity with long-term codebase health
Stellarion embodies lessons learned from decades of building, debugging, refactoring, and maintaining real-world software systems. It's a tool built by engineers, for engineers—designed to help you harness the power of AI-assisted development while maintaining the quality standards that matter.
