In this episode, we dive deep into a game-changing way to understand complex Rails code using AI! We explore how the Aider AI tool can help us visualize and document Rails authorization flows, even when we've been away from our code for a while. Watch as we transform a complex authentication system into a clear, ASCII art diagram that makes sense at a glance.

We walk through the entire process step-by-step, showing how AI can ask intelligent questions about our codebase and create comprehensive documentation automatically. Perfect for those times when you're coming back to old code, inheriting a project, or just need a quick refresher on your own work. Plus, we save all that beautiful documentation right into our project for future reference!

Whether you're wrestling with Rails authorization flows or just curious about how AI can supercharge your development workflow, this episode shows you exactly how to leverage AI to become a more efficient Rails developer. We even cover some pro tips for communicating with AI tools to get the best results!
