Cody
cody.tech
An AI coding assistant developed by Sourcegraph that lives in your IDE and understands your entire codebase to help write and fix code.
Why it is useful
Distinguishes itself by using repository-wide context rather than just the file you are currently editing. This means it can find bugs or suggest refactors based on logic hidden elsewhere in your project. It significantly reduces the time spent searching through local directories or internal documentation, making it a junior developer in your sidebar.
