Bumblebee - The Open-Source Scanner for Messy Dev Machines

In this video, I take a hands-on look at Bumblebee, Perplexity’s new open-source scanner for developer machines, and show how it helps answer one of the hardest supply chain security questions: “Do any dev laptops have a risky package, extension, or AI config sitting on disk right now?”

I’ll run Bumblebee live to show how it scans local metadata without running package managers, executing project code, or triggering install scripts. It’s a fast, read-only developer endpoint inventory tool that outputs clean NDJSON so teams can pipe results into scripts, MDM, SIEM workflows, or incident response processes.
