Sourcegraph Cody: AI with full codebase context, not just the open file
In one sentence Sourcegraph launches Cody in beta, an AI code assistant that understands the entire codebase — dependencies, architecture, cross-file relationships — thanks to Sourcegraph's code index.
Almost every code assistant in 2023 had the same problem: they understood the file you had open well, but ignored the rest of the project. If you asked "why is this function failing?", the AI knew nothing about external dependencies or the application architecture.
Cody solves this directly: it uses the code index that Sourcegraph builds across all company repositories, letting the AI answer questions that require a broader picture. You can ask "where is this function used in the project?" and get a contextualized answer.
For companies with large codebases spread across dozens of repositories, this capability radically changes the tool's value.
