Semantic code search API

An API for adding semantic search capabilities to codebases.

Why now

As codebases grow, developers need better ways to find relevant code sections.

Who for
Software engineering teams
Business model
Usage-based API
Effort
A few months

Traditional code search lacks understanding of developer intent.

Build a RAG-based API that understands queries like 'find authentication middleware' across code languages.

Engineering teams would pay for improved productivity.

Start with support for popular languages like Python and JavaScript.

The biggest risk is competing with IDE integrations.
