If you don’t mind me asking: which popular LLM(s) have you been using for this and how are you providing the code base into the context window?

Not OP but Aider provides a repo map to the LLM as context, which consists of the directory tree, filenames, and important symbols in each file. It can use the popular LLMs as well as Ollama.

Aider hosts a leaderboard that rates LLMs on performance, including a section on refactoring.

AI generated images can be good, and even reasonable to use for branding. Slapping an image right at the top of the page that says "Abstract Synxex Tree" with a meaningless graph and an absolutely expressionless and useless humanoid robot is a great way to immediately lose my interest in anything they have to say though. The homepage would be more interesting as a wall of text.

Agreed, mostly, but this is not a homepage. On the homepage, there's a video demo and a wall of text (https://aider.chat/). Still, that Synxex Tree should disappear :)
