Could you build this?

Partial Greptile indexes massive codebases into knowledge graphs and vector databases to perform deep code search and AI reviews. While the GitHub PR integration and basic RAG are vibe-codeable, building high-accuracy AST-aware codebase graph indexing that scales to large enterprise repositories is not.

What it would actually take: A production implementation requires AST parsing (tree-sitter), symbol resolution, call graph construction, and hybrid search (BM25 + embeddings) over evolving git commits. The hard part is incremental re-indexing on new commits and resolving cross-file references across multiple programming languages. It requires systems engineering skills and deep experience with language servers (LSP) and graph databases.
