Local Indexing to reduce tool calling and token usage
Pensieve is a local indexing tool designed to improve the efficiency of AI coding agents by allowing them to search through local files and repositories. By providing more relevant context, the tool reduces the number of necessary tool calls and lowers operational costs.
Why it matters
Optimizing context retrieval is a critical challenge for developers using AI agents, as it directly impacts the accuracy, speed, and cost of automated coding tasks.
Search your files, repos and agent sessions, locally, and give your agents the best context for the job. One search points them to the few passages that matter, instead of grepping the whole disk. Fewer tool calls, lower cost.
Press Control+Shift for a glass panel over your documents, folders, git repositories and conversations with coding agents. Search by meaning or by the exact words. Pick a result, tap Control, and choose what to do with it without touching the mouse.
Plain words find what you meant, even when the file never uses them.
Quotes match the phrase exactly. Mix both to rank exact hits by meaning.
A minus sign excludes a word or a quoted phrase.
Filter to files, code or sessions, a file type, or a folder or repo with in: .
