  ## Why SeaGOAT?
  SeaGOAT stands apart from traditional code search tools like `ripgrep` by focusing on semantic understanding rather than just keyword or regex matching. While `ripgrep` excels at speed for exact text, SeaGOAT uses AI embeddings to find conceptually similar code, even if the exact words aren't present.
  Unlike general-purpose vector databases (e.g., ChromaDB, Qdrant), SeaGOAT is purpose-built for local code search, offering an on-demand, serverless experience without the need for prior indexing or complex setup.
