What is Sourcegraph Cody?

Sourcegraph Cody is an AI coding assistant built on top of Sourcegraph's code search platform, so its standout strength is context: it can pull relevant code from across very large repositories and multiple projects when answering questions or drafting changes, instead of only looking at the file you currently have open in your editor.

Cody works inside VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the Sourcegraph web interface, offering autocomplete, chat, code explanations, unit test drafting, and one-click fixes. It supports several leading models and is aimed mainly at professional teams whose codebases are too big for a human to hold in memory, with enterprise controls for larger organisations.

Key Features

  • Autocomplete and chat in VS Code, JetBrains, and the web
  • Context pulled from entire repositories, not just open files
  • Code explanations, test drafting, and one-click fixes
  • Choice of several leading AI models

Pros
