Short talk framing the question “Can AI read code?” and focusing on how to build question-answering systems over large codebases. The speaker outlines the common developer need (understand code, find bugs, suggest improvements) and says the video will examine the challenges of applying retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to code and possible solutions.

Can AI really read code? Yes. About how can we do it right? Specifically, how can we create a question answering system on code basis? It is a very common use case for developers. They have a very large code base, multiple people are working on the same code base and they want to ask questions about what each part of the code is doing, how they can improve it, find bugs, etc. Today we will see how we can implement or not how we can implement. Rather, what are the challenges of implementing rag and code and what are the potential solutions for that?
