  • description: Surveyor: Extracting Specifications from Legacy Software with Elixir This talk was recorded at ElixirConf EU 2026. Check our upcoming events at https://elixirconf.eu/ -- -- -- Legacy software can quickly become a challenge when a team loses confidence in it. Replacing undocumented systems is difficult because estimating the work is often just a guess. While tools like Cursor and Claude can help analyze code, understanding how they actually work is key. This talk explores how AI agents analyze code and demonstrates how to implement these tools locally using Elixir. We will look at how to build your own toolset using technologies like Tidewave. Finally, you will meet Surveyor, a practical toolkit designed to automatically generate clear documentation and specifications from your existing codebase. -- -- -- Let's keep in touch!
