Cody

Cody is an AI code assistant launched by the code search and browsing tool “Source Graph”, which helps developers write code and answer questions by reading the entire code repository and code graphs. Cody uses a combination of Source Graph’s code diagrams and Large Language Models (LLMs) to eliminate tedious tasks in human development and maintain the workflow of developers.
You can consider Cody as your code assistant, an automated programming tool that has read all the code in open source, all the questions on StackOverflow, and the entire code repository of developers. It can answer any questions encountered during the development process or suggest some methods based on previous knowledge.
The main functions of Cody
Cody is like ChatGPT in a code editor, which can help you program better and faster.
Artificial intelligence generates code. Cody can generate all content from template code to API parsers based on the context and style of the code repository, and can also fix errors, readability, or unprocessed edges in code blocks.
Automatically generate unit tests. Cody can write unit tests, saving developers time to focus on building software.
Explain code information. Cody can explain the purpose of code at a high level or in detail, highlight any code block or entire file, and explain what happened in conversational language.
Programming language translation. Developers can provide code snippets to Cody, such as a certain function. Cody can translate the code and provide code snippets from another language with the same functionality.
How to use Cody
Using Cody is very simple, and currently it can be used in both the web pages of Source Graph and VS Code.
