Perhaps I am missing something, but this seems to require a Lemon (LLM)? Is the idea that the Lemon is used to help build an index AOT that can be queried locally, after?

I want to figure out how to build advanced tools, potentially by leveraging Lemons to iterate quickly, that allow us all to rely _less_ on Lemons, but still get 10,20,30x efficiency gains when building software, without needing to battle the ethics of it all.

ChunkHound does it a bit differently, since at true enterprise scale it's very slow and costly to pass all code chunks through an LLM during indexing time. Instead, ChunkHound implements a customized "deep research" algorithm that's been optimized for code exploration so it can answer, on demand, any deep technical question about the indexed codebase. This research agent can be powered by a lower tier LLM (think Haiku, Codex low, etc) that's already included in your subscription.
