we have features like manual context management https://www.dyad.sh/docs/guides/large-apps#manual-context-ma... which lets you select files to use in your context window
Hey, could the tool do this itself? Like using code embeddings?
https://www.trynia.ai/ seems to be doing sometihing similar.
very interesting - when we ship MCP support you should be able to use nia!
How about local support? First draft is simple enough to implement: chunk => embed => store. And then one simple lookup function.
