Louis one of the cofounders here, happy to answer questions.

We're combining AI code search, regex matching and precise code navigation in a lightweight desktop app that you can use with your local repos.

We just released v0.2 yesterday which is the first proper release of the natural language search. We're using a bunch of new things under the hood, but the highlights are: Tantivy, Tauri, qdrant and Anthropic's Claude (alternative to OpenAI's davinvi-003).

You can see a video demo on our homepage: https://bloop.ai/

This is a very cool take. Instead of crazy code generation this adds to developer productivity without hours of bug hunting in 99% correct code, and helps devs get up to speed in a codebase. Are you guys designing with large, legacy codebases in mind (e.g. for devs in banks) or something else?

As a user of Bloop at my own startup I can say it's an amazing tool. It helped us a lot with two things 1) technical support questions from customers and 2) on-board new engineers and help them get up to speed by understanding the complex code-base faster

Great work!
