Sage is an open-source tool that lets developers chat with any codebase to quickly understand how it works, similar to a self-hosted GitHub Copilot for code comprehension. It supports fully local pipelines via Ollama and Marqo or third-party LLM APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic, with configurable retrieval strategies including lightweight LLM-based retrieval and traditional RAG indexing.

Use cases

• chat with a codebase to understand how it works
• onboard onto an unfamiliar open-source repository quickly
• ask questions about how to integrate a library into my project
• run a private local code Q&A assistant without sending code to the cloud
• index a repository and query it with RAG
• compare embedding and retrieval strategies for code search

When to choose

• you need to understand a large or unfamiliar codebase fast
• privacy matters and you want a fully local LLM pipeline with Ollama
• you want tunable retrieval strategies and documented benchmarks
• you prefer an open-source alternative to hosted code assistants

When to avoid

• you need inline code completion or IDE autocomplete rather than codebase Q&A
• you want a zero-setup hosted product without running your own infrastructure
• your project requires long-term enterprise support or a mature release cadence
