Galileo checked the docs against the sky. The docs lost.
Galileo is now in beta. Connect the Sources your team already uses and get a provenance-tracked knowledge graph plus Findings: stale docs and code-doc drift, each backed by Evidence showing exactly where it came from.
Somewhere in your wiki there is a page describing a service that was rewritten two quarters ago. Nobody knows which page it is, and nobody will until it burns someone: a new engineer following it step by step, an on-call responder at 3 a.m., or an AI agent reading it and reasoning from it as if it were true.
Galileo exists to find that page before it finds you. Beta access opens today.
When code stops working, you hear about it immediately: tests fail, alerts fire, users complain. Documentation has no feedback loop. The wiki grew for years without an owner, two runbooks describe the same incident procedure differently, and the README still explains an auth flow that was replaced last spring. Every page looks equally authoritative, and some of them are lying.
So engineers learn a defensive habit: don't trust the docs, reconstruct the context by hand. From the code, from tickets, from Slack threads, from the one person who was there when the decision was made. Every new engineer repeats this work, and every on-call shift gambles on which runbook is current.
AI agents inherit the same problem and add confidence to it. An agent retrieves whatever is easiest to find, can't tell a fresh claim from a stale one, and will happily reason from a page that stopped being true in March.
Knowledge health is the degree to which what your organization has written down still agrees with what is actually true. Like code health, it's not a feeling. It can be measured: which pages have drifted from the code they describe, which sources contradict each other about the same concept, which knowledge exists only in one person's head.
Most teams have no instrument for this. Content gets indexed, searched, and summarized, but nothing checks whether it's still true. Galileo is that instrument.
Galileo connects to the knowledge Sources your team already uses and processes them through one pipeline:
Sources βββΆ Ingestion βββΆ Knowledge graph βββΆ Findings
(GitHub, (sync (Nodes, Edges, (derived
Notion...) lifecycle) Evidence) insights)Three things make this more than an index:
The graph is the platform; the Findings on top of it are the product.
There is a growing category of tools that sit between your team's knowledge and your AI tools, and answer questions by retrieving the best available version of the truth. When two sources disagree, they pick a winner using signals like recency and authority, and serve a clean answer.
That's a defensible trade-off for answer quality, but notice what it doesn't do: the conflict is still there. The losing page keeps lying to the next person, or the next agent, that reads it directly.
Galileo makes the opposite trade-off. When two sources disagree, that disagreement is the product: a Finding with both Evidence trails side by side, so your team can decide which claim is right and fix the knowledge base itself. Conflict resolution done silently serves an answer; done in the open, it fixes the knowledge.
Galileo is in beta, so here is the honest inventory.
Working today:
service, its README a document, commits become code_change nodes linked to the person who made them, and root files become code_file nodes. Code-level symbol extraction is still in progress.
Not yet working, and worth being explicit about: cross-source staleness. Today's detector works within a Source. The version that compares your Notion architecture pages against your GitHub code, and opens a Finding when the code has moved on, is the next item on the roadmap and the most important one. Code is the truth, the doc is the claim, drift is the Finding.
We don't publish dates; we publish order. Everything sequences toward one goal: Findings over cross-source knowledge before any surface expansion.
Next, in order:
Later:
The beta is free: two connected Sources per organization and unlimited seats. Unlimited seats is a deliberate choice, not a promotion. Knowledge health is worth more the more people can see the Findings, and charging per seat would punish exactly the behavior we want.
We're also opening a small design partner program: three to five teams of 20 to 200 engineers using GitHub plus Notion or Confluence. Design partners get the full product free during beta, a direct line to us, and real influence on connector priorities. In exchange we ask for permission to measure and publish, anonymized if you prefer, two numbers: how long from connecting your Sources to the first stale doc you confirm is real, and how fast Findings get resolved once you can see them. We don't quote borrowed benchmarks, so design partners are how the first real case studies get made.
That page describing the service that was rewritten two quarters ago? Connect the repo and find out which one it is: sign up for the beta. If the design partner program sounds like your team, mention it when you sign up.
