Cody is an AI-powered coding assistant developed by Sourcegraph that helps developers write, understand, and maintain code using large language models combined with deep codebase context. Unlike many AI coding tools that rely only on local file context, Cody integrates with Sourcegraph’s code graph to analyze entire repositories and provide accurate suggestions based on the full project structure. Developers can ask questions about code, generate functions, write documentation, create unit tests, and fix bugs directly within their editor. Cody works through chat interfaces and autocomplete features in supported IDEs and integrates with repositories to provide context-aware answers and code generation.
