In plain words
Forums is an AI-powered question-and-answer tool designed for GitHub repositories. Users can ask questions about any repository, and the platform's AI agents automatically clone, explore, and search the source code to deliver answers grounded in the actual codebase. It targets developers and open source contributors who need quick, accurate information about how repositories work without manually reviewing code themselves.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
