I'm using Context7 and generally happy. Any advantages to using Nia?


Context7 injects a huge amount of tokens into your context, which leads to a very low signal/noise ratio. I’m using https://ref.tools myself, it delivers much more targeted docs.


ref.tools did really bad on my tests. it hallucinated quite some wrong documentation.


same here, tried both context7 and ref tools.


Hi! I'm the developer of ref.tools. Would love to know what you're searching that you couldn't find, very occasionally things are missing from the index. Drop me a line at matt@ref.tools

Also FYI a bunch of search quality improvements dropped this week so you might want to try again. :)


- deep research agent to enrich and give more context - support for both documentation and entire codebases (both private and public)


hmm how are you accessing private codebases?

and can you explain more on how you use the "entire codebase"?
