Sourcegraph Cody
AI coding assistant built on Sourcegraph's code intelligence platform — understands large, complex codebases by indexing your entire repository graph for truly context-aware answers.
Why It Matters
Cody doesn't just look at open files — it indexes your entire codebase and understands cross-repo dependencies. For teams with 50+ repositories, that level of context makes a real difference.
Limitations
Best value requires Sourcegraph platform investment · Enterprise pricing can be significant · Code search features overlap with GitHub's native search
