Announcing the acquisition of Grep to further our mission of helping developers work and ship faster.

Grep allows developers to quickly search code across over 500,000 public git repositories. With the acquisition, founder Dan Fox will also be joining Vercel’s AI team to continue building Grep to enhance code search for developers.

Grep allows you to:

• Debug faster by searching for an error message to find out where exactly it’s thrown

• Learn faster by finding usage examples for new functions you’re trying to use

• Get started building faster by finding relevant code snippets

Let’s say you’re writing React code and want to update state based on the result of a form action. You see that React has a hook called useActionState that looks like it will do what you need, but you’re not sure exactly how to use it. You can type useActionState into Grep and quickly see hundreds of examples that are doing something similar to your needs.

This is just the beginning. With Dan Fox joining the AI team, we’re going to push the boundaries of what’s possible in code search. Together, we’re building the future of fast, intelligent developer tooling.
