Just to throw my 2c here, since I also want the models to access the whole codebase of (at least) the current project.

I had great impression of sourcegraph’s cody. https://sourcegraph.com/cody few months ago.At least with the enterprise version of the sourcegraph that had indexed most of the orgs private repos.

The web ui (vscode extension was somehow worse, not sure why) was providing damn good responses, be it code generating or QA/explanation about code spanning through multiple repos. (e.g. terraform modules living in different repos)

Afaiu it was using the sourcegraph index under the hood. But I never really deep dived into the cody’s design internals (not even sure if they are actually public)

That being said, I’ve departed from the org months ago and haven’t used cody since then, so take this with a grain of salt, since the whole comment could be outdated a lot.


I see a lot of recommendations for kagi, but no mention of brave search - specifically the (beta) feature called “goggles”. Afaiu it’s a blend of kagi’s “lenses” and the site ranking in search results.

https://search.brave.com/help/goggles

There is a list (search) of public goggles: https://search.brave.com/goggles

The goggles itself are just text files with basic syntax and can be hosted on e.g. github gist. (though you have to publish it to brave)

https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart/blob/main/goggle...

Tbh, I can’t really compare brave search to kagi, since I never used kagi (though I’m using Orion - webkit based browser from the same dev and love it). Afaik, brave search is using its own index, thus making the results somehow limited and inferior to kagis. Just wanted to throw some (free) alternative here that works for me. :)

* Note that Brave search, despite privacy oriented, is still ad funded and there was few controversies about brave’s (browser) privacy in the past. (if that’s relevant for you)

* I’m not affiliated with Brave in any way.
