Hi HN! I’m Omar from Mutable.ai. We want to introduce Auto Wiki (https://wiki.mutable.ai/), which lets you generate a Wiki-style website to document your codebase. Citations link to code, with clickable references to each line of code being discussed. Here are some examples of popular projects: React: https://wiki.mutable.ai/facebook/react Ollama https://wiki.mutable.ai/jmorganca/ollama D3: https://wiki.mutable.ai/d3/d3 Terraform: https://wiki.mutable.ai/hashicorp/terraform Bitcoin:…

We show the potential of modern, embedded graph databases in the browser by demonstrating a fully in-browser chatbot that can perform Graph RAG using Kuzu (the graph database we're building) and WebLLM, a popular in-browser inference engine for LLMs. The post retrieves from the graph via a Text-to-Cypher pipeline that translates a user question into a Cypher query, and the LLM uses the retrieved results to synthesize a response. As LLMs get better, and WebGPU and Wasm64 become more widely adopted, we expect to be able to do more and more in the browser in combination with LLMs, so a lot of…

I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

Hey HN! This is Divit from Almanac (YC S26). We built CodeAlmanac, a wiki for your coding agents that updates as you talk to them. It is open-source, local, and free. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNQWV3TFBWM Your CC/Codex conversations contain a LOT of knowledge that is forgotten because it was never documented. People have their own methods of documenting their chats. We used to make Markdown files like MANUAL.md and DESIGN.md, and would prompt Claude to keep them updated. The problem is that these files quickly become outdated and messy, and there’s…

TL;DR: Vector-based RAG performs poorly for many real-world applications like codebase chats, and you should consider 'language maps'. Part of our mission at Mutable.ai is to make it much easier for developers to build and understand software. One of the natural ways to do this is to create a codebase chat, that answer questions about your repo and help you build features. It might seem simple to plug in your codebase into a state-of-the-art LLM, but LLMs have two limitations that make human-level assistance with code difficult: 1. They currently have context windows that are too small to…

Hi HN, We're excited to share repo2vec: a simple-to-use, modular library enabling you to chat with any public or private codebase. It's like Github Copilot but with the most up-to-date information about your repo. We made this because sometimes you just want to learn how a codebase works and how to integrate it, without spending hours sifting through the code itself. We tried to make it dead-simple to use. With two scripts, you can index and get a functional interface for your repo. Every generated response shows where in the code the context for the answer was pulled from. We also made it…

Hi HN - I’m excited to share a fun side project we built recently CodebaseChat.com is a tool for building a GPT chatbot for any GitHub repo in 30 seconds It can be helpful when onboarding to new codebases, when needing help understanding system design, asking for less technical explanations of functionality We’ve been heads down building Context.ai, the analytics platform for LLM products. When OpenAI released GPTs earlier this month, we built one to answer questions about our growing codebase. It worked so well that we decided to open source the utility for other dev teams How it works: -…

We built a reference MCP server that lets your editor/agent learn a codebase directly from source (signatures, types, AST, comments). Docs are optional. The reference impl runs on our open-source project’s codebase. Why we built it Docs are important, but they add another abstraction layer between your code and your users. Keeping them at the right quality is hard (especially at a startup), and LLM-generated docs are often mediocre until you invest real polish. Exposing code to the model in a structured way keeps answers grounded and current, and it’s always available. You can even…

Code▲20Hey HN, Today we're launching Code, a community-driven, open-source coding agent for your terminal. It's a fork of OpenAI's codex with a focus on developer ergonomics and local control. Key features: - Browser integration – attach to your Chrome via CDP or use a built-in headless browser. You can browse pages, run the CLI in a browser session, and even take screenshots from the terminal. - Multi-agent commands – /plan, /solve and /code orchestrate multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to propose and implement solutions, with consensus or race options. - Diff viewer – see…

Hey HN, I have been working on a side project for the last 3 months, built around LangchainJS and pgvector. It now supports ChatGPT, Llama, Claude, and Bison models, and the bot can integrate with WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord for now. I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks! repo: https://github.com/n4ze3m/dialoqbase

It’s written in Python and I call it GoalChain. It lets you build a conversation flow graph that the user traverses. When there’s enough input it spits out a dictionary with the defined fields. Otherwise it will jump state to state as led by the user. It was fun to write, and it’s surprisingly effective if you keep in mind you’re prompt-engineering every string and field name. README.md has a mini-tutorial. Would be cool to get some ideas for how to build it further and what improvements I could make.
