Sourcegraph Cody
ELI5 — The Vibe Check
Cody is Sourcegraph's AI assistant that actually reads your ENTIRE codebase, not just the open file. Sourcegraph already knows how to search giant codebases, so Cody uses that power to give you AI answers with real context. Ask it 'how does auth work in our app?' and it'll find the answer across 10,000 files.
