Intro

What is Cody?

Sourcegraph Cody is an enterprise-grade AI coding assistant designed to help developers write, fix, and maintain code with deep codebase context. As a versatile code ai tool, Cody AI acts similarly to other advanced assistants like Cursor AI or Claude Code, but stands out by utilizing Sourcegraph's search engine to retrieve context from the entire codebase. By connecting to a secure Sourcegraph instance url, developers can safely index their repositories and retrieve whole-codebase context for inline edits, autocompletions, and chat. Utilizing powerful LLMs such as Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, and OpenAI's GPT models, the assistant supports consistent and secure software development at scale.
