Sourcegraph Cody
Cody is an AI code assistant developed by Sourcegraph. It is designed to assist developers in writing code and finding answers to their coding questions. By leveraging Sourcegraph’s code graph and Large Language Models (LLMs), Cody offers comprehensive assistance to developers.
One of Cody’s key features is its ability to understand and work with your codebase. Unlike other AI chatbots, Cody follows your coding standards and architecture, making it a reliable code companion. It can write code and answer questions related to your project’s codebase, providing accurate and context-aware suggestions.
Cody also excels at code refactoring. With quick natural-language instructions from the developer, Cody can interactively write and refactor code, saving developers time and effort.
In addition to code assistance, Cody offers various useful features. It can generate unit tests, documentation, and more, taking into account the context of your entire codebase. This feature, known as “Recipes,” helps automate repetitive tasks and enhances code quality.
Cody’s experimental completions feature provides real-time suggestions as you code, making the development process more efficient and error-free.
Cody can be accessed through multiple interfaces. It can be used as a standalone app, an editor extension for popular IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains, or by connecting it to a Sourcegraph enterprise instance. Developers can chat with Cody directly in the editor or the Sourcegraph sidebar, asking questions or providing fixup instructions.
To ensure accuracy and continuous improvement, Cody learns from the code files it has read. If it provides incorrect answers, developers can provide feedback to help enhance its accuracy.
Overall, Cody aims to reduce toil and enhance developers’ productivity by providing reliable code assistance and answering coding queries based on its extensive knowledge base. With Cody, developers can focus more on building great software and rely on an AI companion to handle repetitive tasks and provide valuable insights.
