Cody
Cody is an AI coding assistant that helps you understand, write, and fix code faster. It uses advanced search to pull context from both local and remote codebases so that you can use context about APIs, symbols, and usage patterns from across your entire codebase.
Cody connects seamlessly with codehosts like GitHub, GitLab and IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains. Once connected, Cody acts as your personal AI coding assistant, equipped with the following three crucial elements:
- The ability to search your entire codebase for context
- Vast knowledge of open source code
- Extensive training data for code understanding and problem-solving

What data is collected and how is it used?
Cody collects and uses data in the following ways:
- Prompts and responses: When you use Cody, Sourcegraph collects your prompts and responses to provide the service. For individuals using Cody via Sourcegraph.com, Sourcegraph may use your prompts and responses to enhance the user experience, but Sourcegraph does not use any of your data to train models.
- Usage data and feedback: Sourcegraph also collects usage data and feedback to improve the user experience.
Compatible with Sourcegraph products
Cody is compatible to use with the other Sourcegraph products, like Code Search. You can use Cody's chat to ask questions about your codebase. When you run any search query and open a repository or file, you’ll find an Ask Cody button that takes you to Cody’s chat interface that you can use to ask questions about the codebase.
