Our take

Inspired by code search engines like OpenGrok, Livegrep, and Google Code Search, Sourcegraph has developed a robust tool that allows developers to swiftly search through code across an entire organization, including third-party libraries and any programming language. While similar systems are used by large-scale organizations, Sourcegraph aims to make this powerful code search capability accessible to every developer.

Searching through extensive codebases, especially during debugging, can be time-consuming and tiresome. Sourcegraph streamlines this process, saving time and reducing stress for both individuals and businesses. The platform offers a free version for all developers, while revenue is generated through enterprise-specific features tailored for large corporations.

Recently the company launched Cody, an open-source AI tool that enhanced coding practices. Utilizing models like GPT-4 Turbo and StarCoder, Cody offers smart code suggestions and contextual insights within popular code editors. As software development continues to evolve, Cody exemplifies Sourcegraph's dedication to driving progress and shaping the future of development with innovative AI solutions.
