I built vexp to solve two problems I kept hitting with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.):1. Token waste: agents read entire files linearly to understand a codebase. On a medium TypeScript project, a single query was consuming ~18k tokens of context when only ~2.4k were relevant.2. Session amnesia: every new session starts from zero. The agent re-reads the same files, re-discovers the same architecture, re-traces the same dependencies.How it works:- tree-sitter parses the codebase and extracts symbols + relationships into a SQLite dependency graph - When an agent requests context, vexp serves a token-budgeted "capsule" containing only the relevant nodes: the target function, its ca

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
