This is a bit rude.

We didn't generate this project, we wrote it, a lot of it manually, and trained custom models. We'd been working in the real-time retrieval space for a while, and we thought coding was a good fit for this specific technology.

My comment above wasn't meant to be rude. And you do have extensive benchmarks against grep etc so it's clear you understand the importance of that.

But I still think you're missing the harder but more important proof which is agent evals. Have you done any of that?

I would personally love to find tools in this space which can make agents more efficient and I do believe there's a scope for massive improvements compared to default workflows. But my evals with RTK and Headroom have made me wary that a tool can look like it should work, conceptually make sense, pass non-agentic benchmarks, and still make an actual agentic workflow worse.
