Build systems that remember.
Ix is infrastructure for representing complex systems as a persistent, queryable model. You can treat it like a “system of record” for technical state and relationships across tools, teams, and time.
Where Ix fits in real systems
Most products already have data (files, schemas, logs, tickets), but the relationships live in people’s heads or ad-hoc glue. Ix provides a shared model that applications can query directly.
Ingestion
Connectors pull from your sources. A deterministic pipeline extracts entities/refs, resolves links, and writes versioned updates to the model.
- files + docs + repos + tickets + chat
- structured or unstructured inputs
- auditability + provenance
Model
Systems, components, concepts, and constraints become nodes/edges with typed attributes. Documents can be modeled as versioned subgraphs instead of static blobs.
- explicit relationships
- versioning + diffs
- domain-specific schemas
Query & Runtime
Applications query the graph to retrieve structure and state. LLMs can sit on top, but aren’t required to build or maintain the model.
- graph traversal + constraints
- hybrid retrieval (optional vectors)
- tooling for agents
Developer use cases
These are the cases that tend to produce immediate ROI: fewer rediscoveries, faster onboarding, more reliable automation, and less “tribal knowledge.”
What developers get
Reliable structure
Stop asking an LLM to “guess” structure. Ix stores structure explicitly: entities, edges, types, provenance, versions.
Persistent memory
State survives restarts. You can query historical versions and compute deltas over time.
Composable APIs
Apps query the model directly. Your workflows can treat the model as a shared dependency, not a one-off index.
Works with your AI stack
LLMs become consumers of structured state. You can keep deployments private/on-prem without changing the model layer.
How teams deploy it
A typical rollout starts small, proves value, then expands.
- Pick one narrow slice (one product, one repo, one dataset pipeline, or one subsystem).
- Model the schema (types, attributes, relationship rules).
- Wire ingestion (connectors + deterministic extraction + resolution).
- Ship one query surface (UI search, internal API, or agent tool).
- Expand once it’s reliable and measurable.
