Lots of retrieval systems seem to give you keyword matching and graph retrieval in a raw format
This plus graph traversal plus gap analysis is something nobody else has done https://t.co/5plx2VKN14

A research paper from PwC finds that grep-style text search, when properly integrated into agent harnesses, can match or beat embedding-based retrieval for coding-agent tasks, suggesting vector databases may not be essential for many use cases.

GBrain is a state-of-the-art retrieval tool for AI agents, released under MIT license, featuring hybrid search, self-wiring knowledge graphs, and temporal question answering, built by Y Combinator's CEO for his own agents.
We tried vectors, ASTs, and brute-force context stuffing for code retrieval. Graphs with LLM-generated semantics worked best. Here's what we learned.
The authors detail their experience building a code indexing system, concluding that graph-based retrieval with LLM-generated semantics outperforms vector embeddings and pure AST parsing. They open-sourced the system, Bytebell, which uses Neo4j to store semantic context for efficient and precise code retrieval.
