What is Sourcery?

Sourcery is an AI-powered code review and software development assistant that helps engineering teams review code, improve maintainability, and identify potential issues during the development workflow. It analyzes code changes, provides automated review feedback, suggests improvements, and helps developers apply consistent coding practices across repositories.

1. AI code reviews: Sourcery reviews pull requests and code changes to identify potential bugs, code quality issues, complexity concerns, and opportunities for improvement before changes are merged.
2. Developer assistance: the platform provides AI-generated suggestions, explanations, and summaries to help developers understand code changes and improve implementation decisions.
3. Repository and workflow integration: Sourcery connects with development workflows through tools such as GitHub and GitLab, allowing teams to incorporate automated reviews into existing pull request processes.
4. Code quality improvement: engineering teams can use Sourcery to encourage consistent standards, reduce repetitive review work, and provide faster feedback during software development.

Sourcery is most suitable for development teams that want AI-assisted code review and quality feedback integrated into their existing engineering workflows rather than replacing human code review entirely.

Sourcegraph Cody is a codebase-aware assistant connected to Sourcegraph's broader platform for understanding, searching, and evolving large repositories. It helps developers ask questions about code, trace symbols, and use context from local or remote projects. Its main strength is repository understanding, especially where teams manage large shared codebases. Buyers should measure whether Cody reduces investigation time without weakening review accountability inside large repositories first.

Sourcegraph Cody fits enterprises already evaluating Sourcegraph for code search, governance, and large-scale code intelligence. It is less suitable for small teams needing a simple low-cost assistant or users expecting standalone consumer pricing. Buyers should confirm current availability, Enterprise requirements, editor support, and whether Cody remains the right Sourcegraph AI path. Enterprise buyers should link Cody answers to documented review and governance routines early.
