Can’t be worse than Github Copilot so i’m giving it a try.

Do you honestly think copilot is bad? I have really great experience with it.

Yeah I'm using gh copilot all the time, it's very effective for me. Saves me a ton of time.

I've been trying to use Cody, but the user experience has been so bad that I've mostly given up. There is no clear instruction about how to add/remove repos, or how to get Cody to recognize the current repo you're in. And the UI seems poorly planned, with missing, hidden and inconsistent buttons. I spend more time figuring out how to get Cody to work than I save by using it. I think it has potential, but they serious…

Sorry for this bad experience. We are working on improving this (code/activity at https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody). In particular, we’re making it so you can do this all from your editor more easily.

Tried using it yesterday. VIM mode stopped working in VS Code and then my cursor started moving around randomly and wouldn't stop. Uninstalled instantly.

I’m sorry about that. Our code (https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody), which is open source (Apache 2), doesn’t do anything to move the cursor, so I have no idea how that would have happened. Would you be willing to try to repro that in an issue or give us some more info so we can look into it?

As a Sublime Text user I really wish more of these tools worked outside of VS Code.

There's an extension for that too: "Mojo Post-upgrade AutoReloader" /s

I used it for something and looks like without their desktop app it's meh.

We're working on rolling that all into the editor extension itself, so if you just have the Cody editor extension now, you'll see it getting better context. Can follow along at https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Does "Open"AI really have a near-monopoly on powerful AI tools these days? It seems like all of these various AI projects are just a wrapper / frontend that calls OpenAI APIs.
