About Sourcegraph Cody
Sourcegraph Cody assists developers by combining large language models with precise codebase context from Sourcegraph's search technology. The workflow involves installing the IDE extension, connecting to code hosts or repositories, asking questions in chat or receiving inline suggestions while coding, and using prompts or agents for tasks like refactoring or debugging. It supports both individual use on Sourcegraph.com and enterprise-scale deployments. Additional functions include custom prompts, multi-LLM selection, and admin governance tools.
