Show HN: Codebased, an AI Search Engine for Code

Codebased, an AI Search Engine for Code operates in show hn launch.

Profile

Codebased combines Tree Sitter for code awareness (find functions, data structures, constants, etc. not just lines of code), full-text search using SQLite, and semantic search using OpenAI embeddings + FAISS. Despite being implemented in Python, supporting semantic search, making multiple API calls for embedding and re-ranking, it is faster than ripgrep for runng searches against the Linux kernel (takes ~1 second vs. ~2 seconds, obviously depends on system, temperature, time of day, tidal forces, etc.) Up next: - A Perplexity-like agent for interpreting results, making multiple follow-up searches, etc. - Custom embedding and re-ranking stack - Agent for running shell commands, editing code,

As a business in show hn launch, Codebased, an AI Search Engine for Code is listed here with the public details available about it.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
