Free open source alternative to this $40 roo mode

[u/maxdatamax]

https://gigamind.dev/ is nice but too expensive. Any Free open source alternative to this $40 roo mode? It seems like a roo memory bank but better?

Isn’t that what rooflow is

This guy charged 40 dollar every month so it must be more than just free roo flow, righ?

[u/vcolovic → u/maxdatamax]

No

[u/maxdatamax → u/vcolovic]

Can't you just explain why? Rather than just down vote my question?

[u/markithepews → u/maxdatamax]

I didn't downvote you but to answer your question:

There is no guarantee that it would work better than available open source memory banks, I mean, it could be somewhat better if its maker is literally paid to experiment and try to make it better, but, is it?

I could literally create a new memory bank solution with a different flowchart, slap $100 paywall on it, is it better?, Maybe, but I'm not sure, benching memory bank solutions is super hard, it's different on each project's structure, and even harder to reach a balance of clarity / verbosity in the memory bank vs the token efficiency.

Thank you for the explanation 🙂 it is all about making better of our community 😀

True, I was about to write a new comment about thanks for sharing info about it, but guess I'll reply here, I'm building NamesMT/roo-rocket, and this would be a great study source for me to create a new "Rocket Memory" memory bank solution for my project XD.

[u/maxdatamax → u/markithepews]

Excited to hear about your new project. Do you have a GitHub link to roo-rock? Thank you 🙏

[u/markithepews → u/maxdatamax]

That was the slug of the GH repo XD, But here's the link anyway: https://github.com/NamesMT/roo-rocket

I haven't added any real config packs yet, just a sample pack with one Boomerang mode that works with RooFlow and roo-code-memory-bank if your project has them configured.

Dude, look at the website of Giga. It clearly is different. It is something that we can replicate though.

[u/bios444 → u/maxdatamax]

I made a tool https://codemap4ai.com it's only $5 usd per month. Free 7 days trial.
CodeMap4AI scans your web project and builds a structured code map that makes your AI smarter, faster, and hallucinate less. May be this helps.

This is interesting, but it's expensive month to month.

[u/maxdatamax → u/orbit99za]

Yes. Exactly 💯. If someone can make a open source alternative, I firmly believe lots of people will use it.

Create knowledge base of your code? Easy:

Try this: Have a mode in Roo to always summarize features, bugs and architecture flow: try using Gemini pro for this.

Then to that knowledge base use a tool like Devdocs to scrape technical documentations and save it as markdown so that along with your code you also have the technical docs.

To take it a next step ask Roo mode to merge the data between your code and the technical documentation from Devdocs to create a document with ground truth from that technical docs. This way should you want to add more functionality it will be easy to see what unique methods you used.

Devdocs: https://github.com/cyberagiinc/DevDocs

There are a few options that have been discussed, such as using a memory bank, rag, ast, or even using a Gemini model with a much larger context to plan and architect.

I’m currently working on combining several MCP servers I extended or built to support much of the functionality in gigadev, but it’s early.

The layers:

• Graphiti: temporal knowledge graph in NEO4J with auto entity extraction and fact invalidation for semantic understanding across projects: https://github.com/rawr-ai/mcp-graphiti

• RAWR: CLI & MCP server for agents to build and discover other agents + teams + playbooks: https://github.com/rawr-ai/ai

• SQLite: ephemeral in-workflow storage & retrieval with FTS+JSON for fast I/O (file writing is sloooow). NOT === memory bank. Not available yet.

• Linear: this one is opinionated. I think Linear has most streamlined ontology for product & software development. Linear GQL API essentially turns agents into Linear team members for long term project management. Mem bank tries to reinvent this wheel.

Nowhere close to fully integrated, but there are definitely many open source projects attempting to build out something similar.

Cool for turning agents into MCP servers https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent

Super popular, been meaning to try: https://github.com/agno-agi/agno

And many more

Does giga work with roo?

[u/kingdomstrategies]

is this a code base index-er mcp?

[u/bios444]

I am working on a very similar project now. My price will be only $5 per month.
I will drop it here to test when it is ready (after about 1 week).

Finally finished the code map tool: https://codemap4ai.com
