Launch HN: Nia (YC S25) – Give better context to coding agents
Hi HN, I am Arlan and I am building Nia ( https://trynia.ai ), a context layer for AI coding agents. Nia lets tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients index and query real codebases and documentation so they stop hallucinating against outdated or wrong sources, with applications beyond coding agents to any AI system that requires grounded context across domains. Coding agents are only as good as the context you give them. General models are trained on public code and documentation that is often old, and they usually have no idea what is inside your actual repo, internal wiki, or the exact version of a third party SDK you use. The result is very familiar: you paste URLs and code snippets into the prompt, the agent confidently uses an outdated API or the wrong framework version, and you spend more time verifying and correcting it than if you had written the code your
