Platform Overview

SixDegree is a unified platform for discovering, mapping, and controlling your organization through AI-powered interaction with your knowledge graph.

Architecture​

Core Components​

Dashboard​

The web interface at app.sixdegree.ai provides visual access to your knowledge graph. Navigate environments, explore the entity ontology, chat with AI, and configure molecules through an interactive interface.

CLI​

The degree command-line tool enables terminal-based interaction. Use it for interactive chat, entity queries, automation scripts, and CI/CD integration. Install with curl -fsSL https://get.sixdegree.ai | sh or via Homebrew.

Platform API​

RESTful API for programmatic access to all platform features including entity CRUD operations, discovery management, chat completions, and webhook subscriptions. OAuth2 authentication with full SDK support in Go and TypeScript.

Molecules​

Extensible plugins that discover entities from external services and provide AI tools for taking actions. Each molecule connects to services like GitHub, AWS, Kubernetes, or custom systems to build your knowledge graph. Molecules provide three capabilities: discovery of entities, MCP tools for AI actions, and custom widgets for visualization. Learn more in Molecules.

Knowledge Graph​

Entities and relationships are stored as a graph database. Real-time queries power both AI chat and the visual ontology. The graph scales to millions of entities per environment with optimized traversal queries.

Model Context Protocol​

MCP tools give AI the ability to take actions in your services. Molecules expose tools like deploying applications, creating tickets, querying databases, or triggering workflows. The AI autonomously selects and executes tools based on your conversation.

How It Works​

When you configure a molecule, it discovers entities from external services and maps relationships between them. The platform schedules regular discovery runs to keep your graph current, or receives real-time webhook updates for instant changes.

When you chat with AI, it queries the knowledge graph to understand your organization and selects relevant MCP tools to take actions. The AI has full context of what exists, how things connect, and what actions are available.

The Terraform provider lets you manage environments, molecules, and configurations as infrastructure-as-code.

Deployment​

SaaS​

Hosted at app.sixdegree.ai with automatic updates, built-in high availability, and zero infrastructure to manage. Choose SaaS for faster setup and managed operations.

Self-Hosted​

Deploy in your own Kubernetes cluster when you need air-gapped environments or strict data residency requirements. Contact sales for deployment guides and infrastructure requirements.
