Sourcegraph Cody

A code assistant helps with coding questions and offers suggestions.

Tool Information

Cody is your go-to AI assistant designed to make coding easier and boost your productivity by answering your coding questions and helping you write better code.

Imagine having a coding buddy that's always there to lend a hand! That's Cody for you. This intelligent assistant taps into Sourcegraph's impressive code graph and powerful Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide you with the assistance you need. It can dive deep into your entire codebase, as well as pull insights from external resources like open-source projects and StackOverflow. This means it can offer smart suggestions and answers tailored to your specific programming context.

One of the standout features of Cody is its chatbot capability, which is uniquely tuned to understand your project's code. It knows your coding standards and architectural choices, making it much more effective than other AI chatbots when it comes to generating code and addressing project-specific questions.

Cody doesn't just stop at chatting; it can also take action! You can give it quick natural-language instructions, and it will interactively write or refactor your code. This makes coding feel like a collaborative effort—just tell Cody what you need, and it’ll help streamline the process.

But that’s not all! Cody can also generate unit tests, documentation, and other important elements, all in the context of your entire codebase. This means you get comprehensive support that considers how all the pieces fit together.

You can use Cody in lots of different ways, whether through its dedicated app, as an extension for editors like VS Code and JetBrains, or by connecting it to a Sourcegraph enterprise instance. While you’re coding, you can easily chat with Cody in your editor or the Sourcegraph sidebar. If Cody ever misses the mark with its answers, you can provide feedback to help it learn and improve.

In short, Cody is all about reducing the hassle of coding and empowering developers to be more productive by providing reliable assistance and answering those tricky coding questions using its vast knowledge base.
