In Detail

Cody – AI Coding Assistant with Full Codebase Context

Cody by Sourcegraph is the only AI coding assistant that uses your entire codebase as context — not just the currently open files. Through integration with Sourcegraph's code intelligence platform, Cody understands dependencies, definitions, and usage patterns across the entire repository.

Codebase-Wide Understanding

While other AI assistants only see the current editor tab, Cody can search the entire repository thanks to Sourcegraph integration and incorporate relevant code sections into its answers. This is especially valuable for large codebases with millions of lines of code.

Multi-Model Support

Cody can be run with various AI models: Claude from Anthropic, GPT-4 from OpenAI, Gemini from Google, and more. You can choose the right model for each task — Claude Opus for complex analysis, a smaller model for fast autocomplete.

Free for Individual Developers

The free plan for individuals offers unlimited code autocomplete and a chat assistant without a credit card. Enterprises use the enterprise plan with on-premise deployment and SSO integration.

IDE Integrations

Cody is available as an extension for VS Code and all JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.). The integration is deep: autocomplete, inline chat, documentation generation, and code explanation all work directly in the editor.

FAQ

Cody has a free plan for individual developers. Pro costs $9/month, and Enterprise pricing is negotiated individually.

Cody's strength lies in deep understanding of large, existing codebases. Copilot is more broadly applicable but lacks the same semantic codebase search from Sourcegraph.

Cody supports Claude, GPT-4, and other models. In the Enterprise plan, the model can be freely chosen or a custom model can be integrated.

For full codebase functionality, Sourcegraph is recommended. In the basic plan, Cody also works without Sourcegraph using locally open files.

Yes, Sourcegraph and Cody were explicitly built for large codebases like monorepos and scale better than many alternatives.
