llmo VS bloop

Aider is such an awesome project! I didn't know about it until I read this comment. I also wanted a way to provide my code as context from within the terminal without having to copy and paste back and forth. The tool I wrote (llmo) seems pretty similar to yours, although it uses the Textual library and Rich.

I'm really excited to try out aider, thanks for making it!

Hello HN!

LLMO (Elmo) is an AI pair programming tool I created that's become an indispensable part of my workflow.

https://github.com/knowsuchagency/llmo

LLMO is designed to meet you where you are – your terminal. It provides real-time, interactive programming assistance. With its "staging area" feature, you can keep files in the context window and update the AI about your ongoing coding tasks without the hassle of copying and pasting every time you make changes to your code.

Key features include: - Interactive Chat: Get real-time programming assistance directly in your terminal. - Staging Area: No need to copy and paste updates. Simply add your files to the AI's context. - Model Customization: Choose the OpenAI model that fits your needs. - Personality: By default, Elmo loves to make bodybuilding references. You can turn this off through a CLI flag or environment variable

The recommended way to install LLMO is via `pipx install llmo` https://pypa.github.io/pipx/

As a sidenote, LLMO uses Textual which runs the terminal in application mode, meaning that you can't simply copy content as you would normally. In iterm2, you can hold down the `option` key to select text. You'll need to refer to the documentation for your own terminal for more information.

I hope you find LLMO as useful as I have!

https://github.com/BloopAI/bloop Is fully open source and has full text + regex search built on tantivy fyi

Thanks! Bloop really helped with the documentation! they index your code base and uses RAG locally to talk against it. It works shockingly well.

In this blog post, I’ll be comparing 3 distinct AI-first code search tools I recently came across: Cody (developed by late-stage startup, Sourcegraph), SeaGOAT (an open-source project that was trending on HN last week), and Bloop (an early-stage YC startup). I’ll be evaluating them along the dimensions of user-friendliness as well as their accuracy.

If you're confused about any of the code snippets above, you can check out bloop.ai and phind.com (along with its VSCode extension) to answer any of your questions about the repository, noting that both have free plans.

bloop (YC S21) | Rust AI Engineer | Onsite | London, UK

We're a YC + tier-1 VC backed startup, working on a AI chat assistant for software developers that can answer questions about any large codebase.

About you: you hack around with GPT on the weekend, maybe you even fine-tune some of these new open source models. But you're also a solid programmer, capable of not just prototyping a nice demo but also shipping performant code that can scale. You're probably quite good at what you do, maybe you were top of your class, or maybe you rose the ranks to your comfortable management role, but yearn for the days of writing code, redbull and deploying on a Friday.

We're a small team, looking for one individual to join us in London, in-person at least 3 days per week.

Please reach out to me at join [at] bloop [dot] ai with "HN AI Engineer" in the subject line and a note about why this is exciting and a link to your portfolio or linkedin/resume.

P.S. Our stack is Rust, so it's likely the role will go to a candidate with Rust experience but if you think you have something to offer that compensates for lack of Rust we should chat anyway!

Another example is Bloop, it is a code search engine built on top of tantivy and qdrant.
