Brave Studio Launches "handoffAI" to Support System Handover with Generative AI
Brave Studio Co., Ltd. has launched "handoffAI," a service that supports system handover using generative AI. This service directly analyzes source code, automatically generates documents such as system configuration diagrams and API specifications, and responds to specification inquiries in natural language. This resolves fundamental issues in system handover, such as insufficient documentation and knowledge compartmentalization.

Brave Studio Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Junki Nishimura) has launched "handoffAI," a service that supports system handover using generative AI. This service directly analyzes source code, automatically generates documents such as system configuration diagrams and API specifications, and responds to specification inquiries in natural language. This resolves fundamental issues in system handover, such as insufficient documentation and knowledge compartmentalization.
**Background: Serious Challenges in System Handover**
Many companies face the following structural challenges in system handover:
- Necessary documents do not exist or are outdated
- Disruption of knowledge transfer due to the retirement or transfer of development personnel
- Compartmentalization due to reliance on specific personnel
- Significant man-hours required for understanding specifications and creating documents
These challenges lead to systems becoming black boxes, increasing the difficulty of maintenance and modification, resulting in business opportunity losses and increased operational costs, which directly impact management risks.
**What is "handoffAI"?**
handoffAI is a generative AI service that analyzes source code and automates system understanding and document generation. By systematically organizing information necessary for handover and providing it in an understandable format for anyone, it supports sustainable system operation.
**Main Features**
■ Source Code Analysis: Directly reads code from GitHub repositories, etc., and analyzes structure, dependencies, and business logic.
■ Automatic Document Generation: Automatically generates basic design documents, functional design documents, API specifications, database design documents, screen design documents, and sequence diagrams of processes.
■ Security Check: Detects potential risks such as SQL injection and XSS.
■ Specification Inquiry (AI Q&A): Responds to natural language questions with evidence from the relevant code.
■ Code Review: Detects areas of low readability and potential defects, and suggests improvements.
■ Use Case Organization: Organizes stakeholders and business flows through Q&A to supplement specification understanding.
■ Manual Generation: Automatically generates operating procedures and user guides, providing them in a format understandable even by non-engineers.
■ OWASP Diagnosis: Detects risks from an OWASP-based security perspective and generates reports.
**Features**
handoffAI is designed based on the premise of "knowledge transfer across the entire organization," unlike general coding support tools.
- Cross-sectional analysis of source code and documents, providing context-aware answers
- Evidence-based answers that present specific file names and code locations
- Accumulation of Q&A and documents as knowledge
- Incorporation of project-specific terminology and specifications to improve accuracy
This enables system understanding as an organizational asset, rather than relying on individuals.
**Problems that can be solved**
By introducing handoffAI, the following problems can be solved:
- Insufficient documentation → Automatic generation from source code
- Outdated information → Maintains the latest state by comparing with code
- Disruption of knowledge transfer → AI-driven support
