Sourcegraph Cody

Deep codebase context, powered by Sourcegraph Search — Enterprise only from July 2025.

Sourcegraph Closed source

Sourcegraph Cody is a context-aware AI coding assistant powered by the Sourcegraph Search API — giving it deep cross-repository understanding that generic tools lack. ⚠️ Cody Free, Pro, and Enterprise Starter plans were discontinued on July 23, 2025. Only Cody Enterprise remains, serving large organizations. Individual and team users are directed to Amp (ampcode.com), Sourcegraph's new agentic AI coding tool.

+ Pros

  • Unique cross-repository context via Sourcegraph Search API — understands entire org codebases, not just open files
  • Swappable LLMs: Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5, Mixtral — admin-selectable per deployment
  • Azure OpenAI & AWS Bedrock support for enterprise data residency and compliance
  • Context Filters allow admins to exclude sensitive repositories from AI context
  • Self-hosted or cloud deployment — full control for regulated industries

Cons

  • ⚠️ Free, Pro, and Enterprise Starter discontinued July 23, 2025 — only Cody Enterprise remains
  • Enterprise-only product with custom pricing — not accessible to individuals or small teams
  • Smaller user community compared to GitHub Copilot or Cursor
  • No standalone IDE — relies on VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio extensions
  • Successor for individuals/teams is Amp (ampcode.com) — fragmented transition experience

Cody Enterprise

Custom

Enterprise-only, self-hosted or cloud

Sourcegraph Cody is an AI coding assistant built on top of the Sourcegraph Code Search and Intelligence platform — its core differentiator over tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor is that it can answer questions and generate code with context drawn from an entire organization's codebase across dozens or hundreds of repositories simultaneously. Where other assistants see only the current file or project, Cody uses Sourcegraph's semantic search and code graph to understand APIs, symbols, usage patterns, and dependencies at organizational scale.

Cody's feature set includes chat with @-mention context targeting (files, symbols, remote repos), Auto-edit (context-aware suggestions based on cursor movement and recent changes), inline edit, customizable Prompts for repeatable tasks, unit test generation, and debugging. It supports swappable LLMs — Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5, Mixtral — and integrates with Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and OpenAI-compatible gateways for enterprise data residency requirements. Context Filters let admins exclude sensitive repositories from AI context.

⚠️ On June 24, 2025, Sourcegraph announced the discontinuation of Cody Free, Cody Pro, and the Cody component of Enterprise Starter, effective July 23, 2025. New signups for Free and Pro were blocked on June 25, 2025. Sourcegraph cited the shift toward agentic, autonomous workflows as the reason, and launched Amp (ampcode.com) as the successor for individual developers and teams. Cody Enterprise — the full enterprise offering for large organizations running Sourcegraph — is not affected and remains in active development. Sourcegraph offered displaced Free users $10 in Amp credits and Pro/Enterprise Starter users $40 in Amp credits.

Signature Snippet
An engineer at a 500-person company asks Cody: 'How does the payment service handle retries across all our repositories?' Cody uses the Sourcegraph Search API to pull context from 40+ internal repos, synthesizes the answer with file-level citations, and suggests where to add the missing retry logic — with full awareness of the organization's internal APIs and naming conventions.
