What can an AI agent do with Nia?

A Nia AI agent can semantic-search your indexed repositories and documentation, retrieve specific files or documents, list all indexed sources, and answer natural-language questions about your codebase. It can also index new repositories or documentation sites and remove outdated sources - write actions like indexing or deleting always require your approval.

Which repositories and documentation can Nia index?

Nia supports indexing Git repositories and external documentation sites. You control which sources are added - the agent only searches within the sources you have indexed.

How is Nia different from a standard code search tool?

Nia uses semantic search rather than keyword or regex matching, so your AI agent can answer questions like 'where is rate limiting handled?' and get a meaningful result even if the code doesn't contain those exact words.

Is my code stored permanently?

Code and documentation content is processed and indexed by Nia according to their data policies. Task outputs: summaries, answers, reports - are saved to your run history, but raw source content is not stored by the platform.

These run without asking so your agent can gather what it needs, along with a few more reads we don't list here. Anything that changes Nia goes through approval: your agent shows you the plan first, and you can approve a recurring task once so it runs unattended after that.

Found $1,840/mo going to search terms that never convert. I'd add 12 negatives and move that budget to your two best campaigns. This changes the account, so it's your call before I touch anything.
