About Sourcegraph Cody
Sourcegraph Cody is a code-search and AI assistant from Sourcegraph — semantic search across large codebases paired with inline coding help.
Its differentiator is search-grounded answers: it indexes very large monorepos for semantic, regex, and structural search and feeds that context to the model, which cuts hallucinations on internal APIs. A self-hosted Enterprise option keeps source on your own infrastructure.
It fits enterprises with big codebases that want AI grounded in their own code and control over where it runs. Caveats: self-hosted setup and indexing are non-trivial, and pricing moves from per-seat to an enterprise contract at scale.
It's the code-search-first assistant, where Copilot and Cursor lead with completion and editing.
