Operational Overview

Cody is an AI coding assistant supported on Sourcegraph Enterprise and available on VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, and the Web app. It uses Sourcegraph's advanced Search API to pull context from local and remote codebases, including APIs, symbols, and usage patterns.

It supports developer chat, code completions, code edits, customizable prompts, auto-edit suggestions, context filters, and debugging help. You can use it from VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, the Sourcegraph web app, or the command line with Cody CLI.

Risks and limits stated on the page include data collection of prompts, responses, usage data, and feedback. Sourcegraph says it does not use your data to train models for individuals using Cody via Sourcegraph.com, and Cody can ignore selected repositories from chat and autocomplete results through context filters.
