Greptile, an early stage startup from a group of recent Georgia Tech grads, decided to take a different approach: using AI to help developers understand the code base. Greptile CEO and co-founder Daksh Gupta says the Greptile bot is like having a highly experienced coworker who has a deep understanding of your code. “So we’re building AI tools that understand large code bases at companies because as time goes on, and multiple programmers work on the codebase, it tends to get very difficult to understand,” Gupta told TechCrunch. Once the repositories have been indexed by the system, you add a natural language query such as, how does the authentication work in this code base,” he said. The startup launched last July after the founders came up with the idea for the company at a hackathon.

And like all productivity tools, the ClickUp team has also heard the siren song of artificial intelligence. The company has now launched what it calls “ClickUp Knowledge Management,” which combines a new wiki-like editor and with a new AI system that can also bring in data from Google Drive, Dropbox, Confluence, Figma and other sources. With that, the company aims to build a tool that can rival other popular services like Notion and Atlassian’s Confluence. The result, ClickUp argues, is a system that brings together the best of Notion, Confluence and Glean to allow users to quickly create documents. This now enables the ClickUp Knowledge Management to perform retrieval augmented generation (RAG) — which has quickly become the industry standard for augmenting large language models (LLMs) with additional and up-to-date information.

Elon Musk’s xAI has open-sourced the base code of Grok AI model, but without any training code. In a blog post, xAI said that the model wasn’t tuned for any particular application such as using it for conversations. Last week, Musk noted on X that xAI intended to open-source the Grok model this week. Some AI-powered tool makers are already talking about using Grok in their solutions. Yep, thanks to @elonmusk and xAI team for open-sourcing the base model for Grok.

The Launch of Cypher’s Inventory Drone from an Autonomous Mobile Robot Base

The halls of Modex this week are lousy with solutions to the problem of inventory. Recent years have given us drone solutions and Dexory’s massive AMR (autonomous mobile robot) with a telescoping scaffolding structure. At its core is a tall (but not Dexory tall) AMR that serves as a launching and landing pad for a drone. You can’t really see it from the image I took, but the drone is actually tethered to the inside of the AMR platform. The Ottawa-based firm says the drone can operate for up to five hours before needing to return to the base for a recharge.

The launch partner for this is Google, which will use Stack Overflow’s data to enrich Gemini for Google Cloud and provide validated Stack Overflow answers in the Google Cloud console. Google and Stack Overflow plan to preview these integrations at Google’s Cloud Next conference in April. It’s no secret that content-driven services like Stack Overflow (but also Reddit, publishing houses etc.) While Google and Stack Overflow aren’t discussing the financial terms of this partnership, it’s worth noting that this is not an exclusive partnership. Google will also bring Stack Overflow right into the Google Cloud console and will allow developers to see answers and ask questions right from there.
