| Hey everyone! After bouncing between ChatGPT, Claude, and countless VS Code extensions for months, I got frustrated with the constant context switching and re-explaining my codebase to AI. So we built *Octomind* - an open-source AI assistant that actually understands your project and remembers what you've worked on. ## What's different? *No more copy-pasting code snippets.* Octomind has semantic search built-in, so when you ask "how does auth work here?" it finds the relevant files automatically. When you say "add error handling to the login function," it knows exactly where that is. *Built-in memory system.* It remembers your architectural decisions, bug fixes, and coding patterns. No more explaining the same context over and over. *Real cost tracking.* Shows exactly what each conversation costs across OpenAI, Claude, OpenRouter, etc. I was shocked to see I was spending $40/month on random API calls before this. *Multimodal support.* Drop in screenshots of error messages or UI mockups - works across all providers. ## The workflow that sold me: ```
> "Why is this React component re-rendering so much?"
[Finds component, analyzes dependencies, explains the issue] > "Fix it"
[Implements useMemo, shows the diff, explains the change] > /report
[Shows: $0.03 spent, 2 API calls, 15 seconds total]
``` One conversation, problem solved, cost tracked. ## Looking for feedback on: - *Does this solve a real pain point for you?* Or are you happy with your current AI workflow?
- *What's missing?* We're thinking about adding team collaboration features
- *Performance concerns?* It's built in Rust, but curious about your experience The whole thing is Apache 2.0 licensed on GitHub. Would love to hear what you think - especially if you try it and it doesn't work as expected. *Try it:* `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muvon/octomind/main/instal... | bash` *Repo:* https://github.com/muvon/octomind Really curious to hear your thoughts. What would make this actually useful for your daily coding? |
