Sourcegraph Cody
Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant that uses code search to understand large codebases.
What is Sourcegraph Cody?
Cody is an AI coding assistant from Sourcegraph, the code search company. It uses Sourcegraph's understanding of your repositories to give context-aware chat answers, code edits and autocomplete, which is especially useful in large codebases.
Many AI assistants only see the file you have open. Cody pulls context from across your codebase through Sourcegraph's code search, so answers can reference the right functions and patterns.
It works in popular editors such as VS Code and JetBrains IDEs and supports several language models.
Sourcegraph has shifted Cody toward enterprise teams and launched a separate agentic coding product, so individual developers should check which offering fits them today.
Enterprises value its security controls and support for self-hosted code hosts.
