Grep meets embeddings for code, runs fully local—but codebase Q&A tools already flood the market.

Strengths

•Tree-sitter + custom LateOn embeddings + quantized Rust binary means zero external dependencies or API calls
•Incremental indexing and file-change detection keeps search fast without manual rebuilds
•Claude Code hook integration is seamless—agents get context-aware retrieval without context-switching

Weaknesses

•Code search is a saturated category (Continue.dev, Sourcegraph Cody, GitHub Copilot with symbol search)
•Limited adoption signals—no visible user base or deployment evidence beyond README examples

Post Description

Releasing ColGREP today, made using our open-source multi-vector database, it support grep like filtering while adding an extra input to rank output of grep based on semantic similarity. ColGREP is packed with strong code retrieval models we designed and run 100% locally.
