Cody by Sourcegraph

Cody is Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant that uses the entire Sourcegraph code intelligence platform as context. Unlike tools that only see your open files, Cody can search across all your repositories, understand symbol definitions across microservices, and answer questions like 'which services consume this API?' or 'where is this function called in production?' It supports Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini as underlying models.

Best for engineers at companies with large, complex codebases across multiple repos. The onboarding use case is particularly strong — new engineers can ask Cody to explain the architecture, find related code, and understand patterns without reading a million lines manually. For teams already on Sourcegraph for code search, Cody is a natural upgrade.

Where it's overkill: if your project fits in a single repo under 50k lines, Cursor or Copilot's context is sufficient and simpler to set up. Cody Enterprise is where the real multi-repo magic lives, but pricing is contract-based.
