I ran this open-source AI tool on a disorganized codebase and got 71x fewer tokens – here’s exactly what happened
I’ve spent months watching developers copy-paste entire files into the cloud, burning through context windows, and still getting vague answers.
The article discusses the capabilities and benefits of Graphify, an open-source AI coding assistant that transforms files into queryable knowledge graphs. It highlights how Graphify significantly reduces token usage during queries compared to traditional methods and explains its three-pass extraction process, which optimizes the management of different file types, including code and documents. The author emphasizes the ease of installation and privacy-focused design of the tool, making it suitable for developers who want to enhance their coding workflow.
