> AI coding agents are powerful but blind — they waste tokens reading irrelevant code and forget everything between sessions. I'm building the infrastructure that fixes both.

What I'm building

Vexp — Local-first context engine for AI coding agents

Analyzes codebases at the AST level, identifies the most relevant code via hybrid search, and delivers compressed context capsules with session memory. 74% fewer tokens, 30 languages, zero cloud.

Solo-built the full stack: native Rust daemon, TypeScript MCP server (11 tools), VS Code extension with LSP bridge, and a passive observation engine.

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Agents supported | 12 (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed, Codex...) |
| Languages parsed | 30 |
| Architecture | Single native binary, 100% local, zero network calls |
