WHAT IS GITHUB CO-PILOT'S
...
GitHub Copilot Workspace is a new development environment built on top of GitHub Copilot, the AI code completion tool. It’s designed to be task-oriented, meaning it helps you with the entire development process for a specific task, not just suggesting code within the editor1. Whether you’re addressing an Issue, iterating on a PR, or bootstrapping a project, Copilot Workspace assists you by describing what you want in natural language. It captures your intent, proposes a plan of action, and uses that plan to implement the changes.
Sourcegraph Cody
offers autocomplete, chat, and commands.
Allows users to personalize the AI using codebase context.
Users can choose which Large Language Model (LLM) they want to use.
Offers a standard free tier.
Supports IDEs like Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio.
Both tools have their strengths and are designed to cater to different needs and preferences. GitHub Copilot is deeply embedded in the GitHub ecosystem, making it a good choice for those who are already using GitHub extensively. On the other hand, Sourcegraph Cody offers more flexibility in terms of LLM selection and codebase personalization, which can be beneficial for users who work with code hosted outside of GitHub or prefer a free AI code assistant.
