About Greplica
Greplica is an innovative, self-updating wiki designed specifically for coding agents and engineering teams. It acts as a shared memory layer for your codebase, continuously capturing essential development data from coding sessions—including architectural decisions, constraints, gotchas, failed approaches, and detailed file-level context.
Unlike traditional static documentation or siloed AI agent memory solutions, Greplica remains deeply grounded within your repository. It automatically retrieves only the most relevant context needed for a given task, ensuring that knowledge stays fresh and accurate. Built to support modern collaborative workflows, Greplica works seamlessly across different developers, clones, forks, and coding agents.
As an open-source tool, Greplica can be run locally for maximum privacy and control, while also offering a managed shared mode for teams looking to seamlessly synchronize their codebase memory.
Pros of Greplica
- Continuously extracts decisions, constraints, and gotchas from coding sessions automatically
- Provides a shared memory pool that bridges human developers and coding agents
- Open-source and capable of running locally for privacy
- Offers a managed shared mode to easily sync across clones, forks, and teammates
- Stays dynamically grounded in the repository unlike static documentation
Cons of Greplica
- Requires adoption by both engineers and coding agents to build a comprehensive memory base
- Managed shared mode relies on an external service structure compared to local-only usage
- Focused exclusively on codebase context and coding agent workflows
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Greplica?
Greplica is a self-updating wiki and shared memory tool for codebases that serves both human engineering teams and coding agents by continuously extracting context, decisions, and constraints from coding sessions.
Is Greplica open source?
Yes, Greplica is open source, can be run locally, and also offers a managed shared mode for teams.
How does Greplica keep documentation fresh?
It continuously extracts file-level context, failed approaches, gotchas, and constraints directly from coding sessions, retrieving only what matters for the current task so documentation never goes stale.
About AI Eyes
AI Eyes is a permission-first co-presence prototype designed for AI companions. Created by developer Deen Storkey, this open-source tool establishes a privacy-focused, local-first foundation for managing what your digital companions can see and hear.
With its initial v0.1 release, AI Eyes allows users to choose a specific screen or window to capture and gives granular, separate controls for screen, system audio, and microphone inputs. The interface makes it easy to invite named companions and ensures transparency by always displaying when sensing is active. Users can pause or end sessions at any time; ending a session immediately stops all media tracks and resets the session completely.
Built using Codex and GPT-5.6, this prototype is focused entirely on local-first permission, presence, and session-control. Please note that in this foundational stage, no external AI provider or semantic understanding has been connected yet.
Pros of AI Eyes
- Privacy-focused, local-first permission architecture
- Separate, granular control over screen, system audio, and microphone capture
- Clear visual indicators showing when active sensing is occurring
- Open-source code base allowing developers to review and build upon the prototype
Cons of AI Eyes
- It is a prototype (v0.1) and does not yet have an active AI provider or semantic understanding connected
- Limited to foundational capture and session-control features at this stage
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI Eyes?
AI Eyes is an open-source, permission-first co-presence prototype built to manage what AI companions can access. It provides local-first controls over screen sharing, audio, and session state.
Does AI Eyes currently analyze my screen or voice?
No. In the v0.1 release, no AI provider or semantic understanding is connected. The prototype is currently a local-first foundation focused on permission, capture, presence, and session-control.
How do I control my privacy while using AI Eyes?
AI Eyes lets you choose exactly which screen or window to capture and gives you separate toggle controls for your screen, system audio, and microphone. There is also a clear indicator to show when sensing is active, and you can pause or end the session to stop all media tracks instantly.
What technologies were used to build AI Eyes?
The AI Eyes prototype was built using Codex and GPT-5.6.
