Our manifesto

Agents fail in the boring moments: wrong import, stale docstring, half-read file. Ground exists so tools can retrieve deeper context fast—hybrid search plus RMH (recursive multi-hop) expansion when one chunk is not enough.

The problem

Flat RAG returns a few embeddings and calls it done. Real engineering questions need neighbors on disk, second passes, and package-scoped reads. Without that, models interpolate—and you ship bugs.

What we build

Ground indexes repos, docs, PDFs, and public packages, then serves hybrid + RMH search, on-demand package search, Rover for GitHub, and streaming chat with citations. Every path is meant to be measured—latency, cache behavior, and failure modes—not hand-waved.

Principles

• 1
  Depth beats a single embedding. RMH-style expansion and structured citations beat one top-k list when the answer spans a file or package.
• 2
  Show the source. Paths, lines, and versions so you can verify in your editor.
• 3
  Ship fast, observe everything. Product analytics and APIs should reflect real usage—not slide decks.
• 4
  Agents are the customer. MCP, SDKs, and streaming endpoints come first.
