Ask Sourcebot is an agentic search tool that lets you ask complex questions about your entire codebase in natural language, and returns a structured response with inline citations back to your code. Some questions we have seen on our demo site:

• “How does authentication work in this codebase? What library is being used? What providers can a user log in with?” (link)

• “When should I use channels vs. mutexes in go? Find real usages of both and include them in your answer” (link)

• “How are shards laid out in memory in the Zoekt code search engine?” (link)

  
  

🔑 Key points

• Ask questions about your codebase in natural language.

• Get back concise responses grounded in your code with inline citations.

• Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK) from over 11 different model providers (like Amazon Bedrock and Google Vertex).

• @ mention files to add them as context for your question.

• Scope your question to specific repositories or repo sets.

• Share answers with teammates.
