Fast regex search: indexing text for agent tools (28 minute read)

TLDR AI
Generative AI

Providing text search indexes to fast models creates a qualitative difference for Agentic workflows. The impact is pronounced in larger Enterprise repositories because grep latency scales with the size and complexity of the code being worked on. Removing the time spent searching the code base provides meaningful time savings and allows for much effective iteration, particularly when the Agent is investigating a bug.
