The live dependency graph visualization is what sets this apart from standard code search tools. Being able to see how modules connect in real-time while asking questions gives you spatial context that grep/ripgrep simply can't provide.

One use case I'd love to see explored: using this for onboarding new team members. Instead of spending days reading through unfamiliar codebases, you could literally ask "how does authentication flow through this app?" and get a visual map. The combination of LLM understanding + graph visualization could compress weeks of code archaeology into hours.
