  • Email and password
  • Login with Google

​
3) Uploading a Codebase

To produce your first code intelligence model, select and upload a repository of your choosing by clicking the ”+ Upload Codebase” button in the top-right corner of your dashboard. CoreStory currently supports the following upload methods:
  • ZIP upload up to 100MB
  • Public GitHub upload via URL
  • Private GitHub upload via GitHub authentication
After you select a file for upload, CoreStory will scan it and inform you of the total expected file count and any excluded files. Proceed to initiate the creation of your intelligence model.
Codebase analysis and intelligence model generation can take anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour. Refer to the progress tracker on your dashboard for the latest status of your codebase upload.

​
4) Exploring Your Intelligence Model

Following a successful upload, click on your project’s name in the dashboard to start exploring your newly created intelligence model. Try the following steps to get a feel for what you can do with CoreStory.
  1. Chat with your code to get instant insights about your codebase
  2. Review your automatically generated Core Documents for an overview of your application, user stories, personas, data models, API specifications, and integration points.
  3. Use Workflows to create custom artifacts that support project planning, feature development, application maintenance, modernization, migration, and more.
  4. Configure MCP integrations with other tools and start running CoreStory Playbooks.
You can export chat conversations and custom documents to Markdown or plain text files by clicking the Export button at the top of the Chat or Workflow interface.

5) See Your Impact

Each time you complete a workflow or perform a time-saving task, CoreStory will track your time savings, value creation, and raw output in the Impact page. You can access the Impact page by entering a project, clicking your username in the bottom-left corner, and selecting “Impact”. The more you use CoreStory, the more value you generate for yourself and your team. Track and share your impact with your teammates to identify best practices for your organization! Note: CoreStory impact metrics are estimates based on industry-standard assumptions. Your specific time savings and generated value may not precisely align with CoreStory’s estimates.
