> If you know what you need to do and how to do it Having used it for the last week or so to help me translate Python -> Rust, I'd say GPT4 is on par with even senior engineers for anything built in. The key areas it falls down o

To evaluate semantic search we generated synthetic questions on our own repos with davinci-003. We can probably generate tougher and more realistic queries with GPT-4, would like to re-create this and open source. We don't have precisi

For the desktop version we implemented GitHub OAuth using the device flow, so you can hold credentials on your local device. The tradeoff is there's no granular control of permissions, it has whatever access your account has. On bloop

That's correct. A good one to to get bloop to answer, here's what I got: https://imgur.com/a/nlx4YRq To create a response to a user's natural language query, the code follows these steps: Parse

Most of bloop's interface is search results, which are driven by the LLM and have highlighted line ranges and go-to-ref/def. Down the line, many other LLM powered tasks will need specialised interfaces too, like showing a diff or

That's the million $ question. Autocomplete (Copilot) is install and forget. We don't have that luxury, search has to give you that 'aha' moment the first time you use it. For one, having the engine respond in natural la

Tracing the source of a result is one of the key advantages of code search vs generation. I think an easy way to read licenses from the snippet view is a good idea.

We've been working on semantic code search since the start of 2021. You can see details our first iteration here https://www.producthunt.com/products/bloop-2#bloop-3 The main shift was moving from the IDE to our o

Still very early and so by no means the most feature complete, but combines semantic search + grep matching https://github.com/BloopAI/bloop

We've invested a lot into helping LLMs reason and explain large codebases. We use a hybrid approach of local models for semantic search and a mix of OpenAI and Anthropic's models for language output and summarisation. We're t

This is almost identical to a VS Code extension we released two years ago (no longer supported) https://www.producthunt.com/products/bloop-2#bloop-3 On the one hand I'm 100% for IDEs evolving and becoming more use

Louis one of the cofounders here, happy to answer questions. We're combining AI code search, regex matching and precise code navigation in a lightweight desktop app that you can use with your local repos. We just released v0.2 yesterda

This looks great. Traditional BI has way too many visual configurable options (google data studio). I just want metrics in a simple blog like page, this looks perfect for that
