Sourcegraph, a company revolutionizing the developer experience through code intelligence, recognized the tectonic shift in how developers consume information—from search engines to generative AI.
In 2024, Sourcegraph approached VirtusLab to bring Cody, their AI-powered coding assistant, to Visual Studio. Cody was already a success in VS Code and IntelliJ IDEA, but Visual Studio, with a 29% global market share, remained a vital piece of the puzzle. The result was Cody for Visual Studio, an advanced extension that delivers chat-style interaction, intelligent code completions, and contextual actions, seamlessly embedded in developers’ daily workflow.
Since its preview release in August 2024, Cody for Visual Studio has gained widespread adoption, earning a Top 10 spot in the AI category on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
