What Is Sourcegraph Cody

Sourcegraph Cody is an AI coding assistant from Sourcegraph, a San Francisco company founded in 2013 that built its reputation on large-scale code search and code intelligence for enterprise engineering teams.

Cody's core idea is codebase-aware AI: it pairs a large language model with Sourcegraph's existing search and code graph so that answers, generated code, and suggestions are grounded in an organization's real, current codebase rather than only the file currently open in an editor.

Key Features

Cody offers an AI chat interface for asking questions about unfamiliar code, generating new code, and requesting edits, plus auto-edit suggestions that adapt to cursor position and recent changes. Teams can create and share customizable prompts for repeatable workflows like writing tests or documentation.

Because it draws context from Sourcegraph's search index, Cody can reference relevant functions, types, and patterns from across many repositories at once, which is particularly useful in large enterprise monorepos where a single file rarely tells the whole story. It is available in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, an experimental Visual Studio integration, the Sourcegraph web app, and a CLI, and integrates with GitHub and GitLab code hosts.

Pricing

As of mid-2025, Sourcegraph stopped accepting new sign-ups for the self-serve Cody Free and Cody Pro plans and terminated existing accounts, folding Cody entirely into Sourcegraph Enterprise.

Sourcegraph Enterprise is sold on a custom-quoted annual contract; its public pricing page lists a starting reference figure in the tens of thousands of dollars for larger deployments, while Cody-specific access has also been reported at around $59 per user per month under earlier enterprise contract terms. Exact pricing depends on team size, deployment model, and AI usage volume, and requires contacting Sourcegraph's sales team.
