Sourcegraph Cody

Cody is an AI coding assistant developed by Sourcegraph, available as extensions for VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio (experimental), a web app, a command-line interface (CLI), and as part of Sourcegraph Enterprise. It is designed for developers who need help understanding, writing, and fixing code. Cody uses large language models (LLMs) combined with development context to function. It leverages Sourcegraph’s Search API to pull context from both local and remote codebases, including information about APIs, symbols, and usage patterns. The tool connects with code hosts like GitHub and GitLab and integrates with IDEs. Its key capabilities include a chat feature that allows developers to ask questions about code, generate code, or edit code using context from the open file and repository, with the option to add further context on specific files, symbols, or remote repositories using the "@" symbol. An auto-edit feature analyzes cursor movements and typing to suggest code changes after a character edit. Additionally, Cody offers customizable prompts for automating common workflow tasks.
