Can’t be worse than Github Copilot so i’m giving it a try.
We look forward to your feedback :)

Re: Cody – The AI that knows your entire codebase
#13My first impulse with this new wave of tooling is to poke at the privacy policy, especially given there's only the free trial version available... https://about.sourcegraph.com/terms/cody-notice seems generally reasonable though, so that's appreciated. Wouldn't mind a more transparency/confirmation on who the partner LLM entities are (Anthropic?), and some verbiage on the downstream impacts of their terms. Should be…
According to the FAQ, "Cody has one third-party dependency, which is Anthropic's Claude API. In the config, this can be replaced with OpenAI API." https://docs.sourcegraph.com/cody/faq
Looks like a nicely implemented product, unfortunately my experience with Claude is that it's no where near GPT-4 in terms of coding capabilities.

Last week, I forced myself to move from Sublime Text, which I used professionally for a decade, to VSCode. Underwhelming community output bogged down by fundamental limitations, such as very limited extension UI API, ultimately results in a second rate experience compared to VSCode, where all the new cool experimental extensions appear earlier, if at all. You lose productivity because the community size didn't reach critical mass necessary to produce as much good extensions as VSCode. And I can finally perform search and replace without manually saving edits in dozens of files.

Re: Cody – The AI that knows your entire codebase
#16Is this similar to cursor.sh, or does it have advantages over that product?
It's hard to tell if "knows your entire codebase" refers to small-context-window retrieval-augmented generation or something like loading all your code into Claude 100k.
Also, an ask: a voice-to-text input would be earthshatteringly cool. I am waiting with bated breath for the coming moment where it becomes possible to code for extended periods by rubberducking alone.

#19I would love to try this out, but I would like to see a headless version of the desktop app as I do all my programming over SSH.

It does have your entire codebase context using the Claude 100k context model. You can have a look at this white paper for more info about how Cody uses the right context: https://about.sourcegraph.com/whitepaper/cody-context-archit...
