Products & Services
Universal code search platform that allows developers to search for code across thousands of repositories and languages. Includes Deep Search (launched June 2025), Symbol Search, Code Navigation, and Code Monitoring. Supports all popular coding languages and code hosts including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gerrit, and Perforce.
AI coding assistant that uses intelligent code context to answer technical questions, generate code, and suggest completions. Features include autocomplete, context-aware chat, commands, custom prompts, inline edits, and experimental agents. Supports multiple LLMs including Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro, and GPT-5.1. Available for VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, Eclipse, web browser, and CLI.
Agentic code search tool that allows users to ask natural-language questions about codebases and returns structured, navigable answers. Uses underlying search and code navigation to explore code, run queries, follow references, and summarize findings.
Automates large-scale code changes across all repositories and code hosts. Enables bulk refactors, security fixes, and migrations. Allows users to change code everywhere with a single declarative file, track changesets through checks and code reviews, and manage changes until merged.
Market Position
Sourcegraph positions itself as the enterprise code intelligence platform with superior codebase understanding compared to competitors. Unlike GitHub Copilot which is limited to single repositories and GitHub-hosted code, Sourcegraph Cody provides comprehensive multi-repository context across all code hosts (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Perforce, Gerrit). Key differentiators include: (1) Context Engine that searches and navigates entire codebases rather than simple local context, (2) Flexibility in AI infrastructure with self-hosted options and support for multiple LLMs, (3) Enterprise-grade security and compliance (SOC2, ISO27001), (4) Zero vendor lock-in with support for all major code hosts, and (5) Agentic capabilities through Deep Search and MCP integration. Sourcegraph claims higher code quality through better context awareness and reduced hallucinations.

Board of Directors
Founding Story
Quinn Slack and Beyang Liu met while working at Palantir. They realized that universal access to code search was not a standard in the industry despite its transformative power at companies like Google. They decided to start Sourcegraph on April 1, 2013 to bring those tools to every company and developer. Their mission was to tame and eventually automate the tedious parts of working in big, messy codebases.
