Quickly creating or editing objects. The main target would be editor extensions, image a snippet that expands to an object on tab for instance

Interesting concept, just FYI, there’s a popular code grepping tool called Silver Searcher, and it also uses ag - consider just using august to avoid ambiguity/collisions.

zsh has completion built in. There’s zsh-autocomplete that’s maybe closer to what you’re thinking. I’m not aware of a term emu with special GUI for it beyond what your shell gives you.
