Cody, an open source AI coding assistant
summary
Cody is an open source Apache‑2 AI coding assistant that reads repository files and uses Sourcegraph’s code graph plus vector embeddings to fetch exact snippets, feeds those to LLMs (Anthropic or OpenAI), and returns verified answers, edits, and recipes. It ships as a VS Code extension and a web preview, locates symbols, finds PDF loaders in LangChain, summarizes git history, and reduced a multi‑hour onboarding task to ~30 minutes, while still battling hallucinated filenames and counting/aggregation limits.
