TruffleHunter
An AI-powered platform that scans a company's entire codebase, Slack, and documentation to surface 'truffles' - high-value code patterns, solutions, and tribal knowledge that are buried like truffles underground. It uses 'regenerative indexing' (inspired by axolotl regeneration) to rebuild and maintain documentation as code evolves, preventing knowledge rot and helping developers stop reinventing the wheel.
The Wow Moment
A developer types a problem they're solving into TruffleHunter, and the AI responds with '3 people at your company solved this exact problem in the last 18 months' and surfaces their internal solutions, code snippets, and Slack discussions - turning 2 hours of work into 5 minutes of copy-paste.

You're piloting your floating pyramid through a storm of piñata asteroids, each impact cracking your pyramid walls with satisfying physics - then you glimpse your phone's flash blinking, indicating the game detected you just completed a nail-care task, and watch as your pyramid instantly auto-repairs with a burst of golden particles while you keep flying
