We're launching SynapseAudit, an AI-powered security analysis tool built into VS Code. We built this to fix slow, paid, and privacy-violating cloud scanners that demand your source code.

The Problem Solved: Code Privacy & Speed

Our proprietary Synapse Cortex Engine performs all deep vulnerability analysis entirely on your device.

    Zero Code Leakage: Your code never leaves your machine. The scanner is 100% local and offline by default.

    Instant Feedback: Analysis is near-instant, unlike cloud SAST tools.

We check for 50+ vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, etc.) across JS, Python, Java, and more, providing real-time feedback and severity levels in your editor.

Technical Details (BYOAI)

For advanced suggestions and auto test case generation, we added Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI). This allows you to:

    Connect your own API key (e.g., Google Gemini, GPT-4) for cost/data control.

    Connect to local LLMs like Ollama.

This makes the AI features optional, cost-controlled, and privacy-respecting.

Key Features:

    Local-First Scanning via Synapse Cortex Engine.

    One-Click Fixes.

    Auto Test Cases generation.

    GitHub Integration.

We're here all day to answer technical questions and get feedback on the Synapse Cortex Engine's accuracy.
