{"id":110659,"title":"Akon Labs: We're building the most token-efficient coding agent in the world","tagline":"GitNexus gives coding agents a map of your codebase, so they stop burning tokens looking for it.","body":"##### We're building the most token-efficient coding agent in the world. The reason it works is GitNexus, our open-source knowledge graph for your codebase.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/-ErU4cCRSlQ\u003e\n\n##### The problem\n\nCoding agents don't understand your repo. They grep, they guess, they re-read the same files, and they stuff half your codebase into a context window hoping the answer is in there somewhere. You pay for every one of those tokens, and the agent still misses the cross-file relationship that mattered.\n\nThe bottleneck isn't the model. It's context.\n\n##### What we built:\n\nGitNexus indexes your repository into a knowledge graph (symbols, call paths, imports, ownership, history) and serves the agent exactly the context a task needs, instead of everything it might need.\n\nIt's one connected stack:\n\n* The knowledge graph. Run npx gitnexus analyze and you have it\n* A coding agent that runs on top of it\n* Automated PR review grounded in the same graph\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=110659\u0026key=user_uploads/1607382/1d3e51af-d3b5-4ee6-b0c3-b80bc4337c3e)\n\n##### The proof:\n\nOn the DeepSWE benchmark, we ran the same agent with our graph and without it:\n\n* 37% to 68.4% pass rate. Nearly twice the bugs solved\n* Half the cost per fix, with fewer tokens\n* On the hardest tasks, the gap more than triples\n\nFull methodology and results: \u003chttps://www.akonlabs.com/benchmarks\u003e\n\n##### Where we are:\n\n* 45,000+ GitHub stars\n* 65,000 weekly npm downloads\n* 10+ enterprises onboarded\n\n##### About the team:\n\nSubham Kundu and Abhigyan Patwari have spent nearly half a decade working on knowledge graphs. Between them, they've been founding engineers, CTOs, and principal AI engineers, taking products from 0 to 100 at multiple startups. Subham is a seasoned engineer who has scaled products to millions of users, won multiple hackathons, and doing a PhD in reinforcement learning. Abhigyan is a seasoned technologist and serial open source contributor, with involvement across multiple open source projects.\n\n##### Run it in your way:\n\nManaged, or fully sovereign. Self-hosted, air-gapped, nothing leaves your network.\n\n##### Looking to cut your coding agent bill?\n\nIf you want to lower your coding agent spend without giving up frontier performance, sign up at \u003chttps://www.akonlabs.com\u003e. We'll get you set up on your own repo and show you the before-and-after on your actual token costs.\n\n##### Our other asks\n\n* Try the open-source version. Run npx gitnexus analyze. Takes a minute\n* Intros. Engineering leaders where agent cost or code-context quality is a real line item, especially in regulated or air-gapped environments\n* Tell us where it breaks. Weird monorepos and polyglot repos are the most useful feedback we get\n\nGitNexus, by Akon Labs. The nervous system for agent context.\n\nContact us at: [founders@akonlabs.com](mailto:founders@akonlabs.com)\n\nWebsite: [https://www.akonlabs.com](https://www.akonlabs.com/)\n\nLinkedin: [https://www.linkedin.com/company/akon-labs](https://www.linkedin.com/company/akon-labs/)","slug":"Smp-akon-labs-we-re-building-the-most-token-efficient-coding-agent-in-the-world","created_at":"2026-08-17T19:30:00.167Z","updated_at":"2026-09-19T07:06:52.582Z","total_vote_count":45,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Smp-akon-labs-we-re-building-the-most-token-efficient-coding-agent-in-the-world","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":32619,"name":"Akon Labs","slug":"akon-labs","url":"https://akonlabs.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/7195cae7a2ed2e9a5da8741119043c95ba614f7c.png","batch":"Summer 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Generative AI","SaaS","B2B","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/32619"}}
