Engineers are increasing their productivity by using bloop to:
-
Explain how files or features work in simple language
-
Write new features, using their code as context
-
Understand how to use poorly documented open source libraries
-
Pinpoint errors
-
Ask questions about English language codebases in other languages
-
Reduce code duplication by checking for existing functionality

Get Started with Bloop
The simplest way to get started with bloop is to download the app and follow the onboarding steps. Checkout our getting started guide and our references for conversational and regex search and Code Studio.
For instructions on how to build from source or run bloop from the command line, check out these pages:
Note that it is currently not possible to use conversational GPT-4 search where bloop has been built from source (we’re working on this). You can run regex searches and use code-navigation.
If you encounter any index issues you can wipe the bloop cache and reindex. Instructions on how to do this on different platforms are here.
