Cody is an AI coding assistant. It provides AI-assisted autocomplete functionality, capable of completing single lines or entire functions across various programming languages, configuration files, or documentation. Cody's autocomplete capability integrates with multiple Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), including VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Neovim. Another notable feature is its AI-powered chat interface, designed to aid developers in navigating new projects, understanding legacy code, or solving complex coding issues. Cody chat can address a variety of queries, such as explaining repository structure, the functionality of specific files, defining components, or troubleshooting code errors. Cody also offers custom and pre-built commands for generating, testing, and fixing code. It can generate unit tests, describe code smells, and optimize code for best practices. Additionally, Cody's integration with Sourcegraph's code search and analysis tools enables it to provide autocomplete, explanation, and code editing with enriched context.
