About Cody

Cody by Sourcegraph is an AI coding assistant that differentiates itself through unparalleled codebase context. Powered by Sourcegraph's code intelligence platform, Cody can search and understand your entire repository — including large monorepos — to provide highly accurate answers, code generation, and refactoring suggestions.

The key advantage of Cody is its context engine. While other tools rely on open file tabs or limited context windows, Cody indexes your full codebase and retrieves relevant code snippets, documentation, and patterns when generating responses. This makes it exceptionally good at answering questions like 'how does authentication work in our app?' or generating code that follows your team's existing patterns.

Cody is available as a free tier with access to multiple LLM providers, and Enterprise plans add features like admin controls, SSO, and guardrails. It's particularly well-suited for large engineering organizations with complex codebases where context quality is the limiting factor for AI assistance.
