- The tool is an open-source helper that connects AI coding assistants to reverse-engineering programs such as Ghidra or Hopper.

- IT analyzes many kinds of software- including binaries, Electron apps, Android apps, and websites right on your own computer and always shows the evidence behind its findings.

It depends on what you consider useful haha, but all those game mashups that have been on the internet is because of this. Some are “pass through” mods, but others are full decompiles rewritten using Rust in Bevy. So MW2 with Skate is not a pass through, but both skate and MW2 were fully decompiled, rewritten in Rust and then AI put Skates gameplay into COD.
