## What it is
Cody is an open-source AI coding assistant by Sourcegraph that uses LLMs and codebase context (via Sourcegraph's search) to help developers understand, write, and fix code. It ships as editor extensions for VS Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio, plus a web app and CLI; this repo is a public snapshot of the code before it moved to a private repository.

## Use cases
- chat with an AI about my codebase with full repository context
- get code completions and inline edits in VS Code or JetBrains
- ask questions about APIs and usage patterns across large monorepos
- refactor or fix code using AI with remote repo context
- run an AI coding assistant from the command line in scripts

## When to choose
- you want an AI assistant with deep codebase-wide context powered by Sourcegraph search
- you use VS Code, JetBrains, or Visual Studio and want chat, autocomplete, and edits in one tool
- you want to study or fork the last Apache-licensed source of Cody

## When to avoid
- you need actively developed open-source code - development moved to a private repo
- you want a fully self-hosted assistant without a Sourcegraph account or Enterprise subscription
- you need an editor other than VS Code, JetBrains, or Visual Studio

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: chatbot, rag, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, artificial-intelligence, large-language-models
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
