When to use this feature

Use Explain Object Context with AI (rather than plain Explain) when the object’s purpose is only clear when you see how it is used. For example, a utility method called from many places has different meaning depending on which callers are relevant to your investigation.

Step 1: Right-click an object

At Objects level, right-click an object and select Explain Object Context with AI.

Step 2: Read the explanation

The AI receives the object’s source code plus the code of its immediate callers and callees. The explanation appears in the Legend panel and describes the object’s role in the flow.

Step 3: Save as an annotation

Click the tick icon to save the explanation as a sticky note. See Annotate objects with sticky notes.
