grepai
Semantic code search CLI
Synopsis
grepai is a privacy-first semantic code search tool.
Unlike grep (exact text matching), grepai indexes the meaning of your code using vector embeddings, enabling natural language searches.
It runs as a background daemon, maintaining a real-time “mental map” of your project to serve as reliable context for developers and AI agents.
