cody
Cody is Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant built to help developers understand, write, and fix code faster by combining modern large language models with repository and development context. It pulls context from both local and remote codebases using Sourcegraph's advanced Search API so it can reason about APIs, symbols, and usage patterns across an entire codebase. Cody integrates with IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio), the Sourcegraph web app, and a CLI, and is supported on Sourcegraph Enterprise.
AI-powered code search and analysis platform for efficient code understanding and maintenance.

Chat
Chat directly with AI to ask questions about code, generate code, and edit code. Cody has the context of your open file and repository by default and supports adding context via @ for files, symbols, or repositories.
Auto-edit
Suggests code changes by analyzing cursor movements and typing; after an initial edit it proposes contextual modifications based on cursor position and recent changes.
Prompts
Automate tasks with premade and customizable prompts that can be saved and shared with your team.
Context
Uses Sourcegraph's advanced Search API to pull context from local and remote codebases so responses are informed by repository-wide APIs, symbols, and usage patterns.
Debug code
Optimized to identify and fix errors in code, offering debugging suggestions and autocomplete to accelerate the debugging process.
Context Filters
Allows ignoring selected repositories from chat and autocomplete results to control and manage what context Cody uses.
