Talk to your Supply Chain. Chat with SBOMs.

ChatSBOM is a CLI tool for indexing and querying Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) data, providing deep insights into project dependencies.

Features

• Discover: Find high-quality repositories on GitHub by stars and language.
• Collect: Enrich metadata and fetch dependency files (go.mod, package.json, etc.).
• Generate: Transform files into standard SBOM format using Syft.
• Index: Load SBOM data into ClickHouse for high-performance queries.
• Query: Use the CLI for stats/searches to get insights into project dependencies.
• Chat: Use the AI-powered natural language chat to chat with SBOM data.
