Yea it's a similar idea - DeepWiki has the generated "wiki" part which we think is really cool (and maybe we'll add something similar in the future). The core chat experience is the same idea - we had some UX inspiration since we think they nailed the experience.
Deepwiki's context retrieval seems to be more sophisticated. I'm speculating, but I imagine they are using the generated wiki + embeddings which probably gives them higher recall over the codebase, vs. how we are using precision search.
Sourcebot has more "IDE" features built into the product like a file explorer and code navigation, which makes it easier to use the AI-generated answer as a jumping off point for further code exploration.
