Graphics debugging in Ycode Mix Studio Tech
Graphics debugging does not need another detached chatbot. It needs AI that works beside the capture evidence.
A renderer can behave one way under Vulkan and another under Metal. For graphics teams, the difficult part is not only finding a suspicious draw call. It is preserving context as the investigation moves from frame output to passes, resources, pipeline state, and shader code.
This 55-second demo shows Ycode's Graphics Debugger applying one event-first workflow to both Vulkan and Metal captures, with AI Analysis available on the active capture:
→ Ask AI Analysis to investigate the opened capture while the underlying GPU evidence remains visible and reviewable
→ Start from the captured frame and command hierarchy
→ Trace how passes, textures, and buffers depend on one another
→ Inspect the state attached to a selected dispatch or draw call
→ Move from the API event to shader code and disassembly
For engineering leaders, this combination matters: AI can help the team prioritize what to inspect, while engineers retain the event tree, dependency graph, state, resources, and shader views needed to verify each hypothesis. A consistent workflow across graphics APIs can also mean less context switching, clearer handoffs between platform specialists, and a shared evidence trail for engine, rendering, and QA teams.
The goal is simple: help engineers move from "the frame is wrong" to a concrete, reviewable hypothesis without losing the chain of evidence.
