Amp Reviews & Product Details

Having cody added to vscode enables you to function in a environment where after a certain period of time cody is able to pickup and suggsest autocompleted code snippets which is matching my coding style and best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the edit code part doesn't work in vscode extension Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've done an apprenticeship in software engineering so I understand the fundamentals of how computers work. I also worked as a front end web developer but have moved into product design. Cody is perfect for me because I can concentrate on innovation and creating great software products but am not tied down of learning specific syntax of different languages. I think we're on the cusp of something special with AI in general. If you prompt it specifically, read the code, test it, I think this is a superpower to any kind of product person who understands the fundamentals of code. Cody fits right in here. I love how you have access to many models. As it stands right now, Claude 3.5 sonnet is the best for these tasks. I love Cody, love the idea, love how it suits me and my needs almost perfectly. This is not a paid bot/review, hands down this is great guys. Worthit, thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cody in Vs Code and still minor bugs. I'd love to work with your developers in order to fix these but honestly, only slight annoyances.

One thing to mention is when you talk in the chat and it abruptly stops, restarts and you can no longer carry on the conversation. If there was a feature where you can open a new chat and you can essentially "pick up where you left off" that would be cool. Maybe something to put on your product roadmap 😇 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can do almost anything you throw at it. It can read code in your repo, it can adjust code for you, it can understand and troubleshoot your code, you can refernce specific lines and/or files. It's also affordable, and you get access to so many different AI LLMs. I use it every time I'm looking to update my app, or build something new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it will become slow and unresponsive, especially when a chat session goes too long. However, this is a rare occurance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cody for VS Code offers the best and latest models (Sonnet 3.5, o1-preview) without a hard usage limit like other similar AI tools, and at a lower price.

The chat integration works well, allowing to switch models on the fly and retroactively for second opinions from other models.

The experimental generation of commit messages is really useful.

Support for local models via ollama is also appreciated, but I haven't personally used it much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NeoVim support doesn't seem to be progressing.

Autocomplete response has been spotty, but seems to be improving with new releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cody has become pretty essential part of my development workflow - it's good value considering you get all the main models for one price.

What really stands out is how seamlessly it integrates into IDEs, eliminating the need to constantly switch between browsers and code editors. The ability to maintain chat history right within my development environment is incredibly useful for revisiting previous solutions or building on past discussions. I've been particularly impressed with how it understands my project context and codebase, making its suggestions remarkably relevant.

The IDE integration keeps improving with each update, and while there are occasional hiccups with response times ( and recently with Jetbrains ) the convenience of having an AI assistant right where I'm coding more than makes up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jetbains was busted for a little while - so I was forced to use VSCode but it's been fixed now. Speed could always been improved as with everything, but I'm fairly pleased with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cody's multi-model capabilities are best in class. You can always find a model that will solve your problem, and exploring solutions from multiple models is easy. The chatbot is excellent, allowing you to easily add context as you proceed with your task. Incorporating code suggestions and running commands is straightforward and works well. Having the tool available as a CLI is a bonus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy for Cody chat to lose the current state of code, as the context is not refreshed as changes are made. One can fix this by manually re-adding files to the context, but this is tedious, and sometimes, the models get confused about the most recent version of the code.

I would like to see the CLI expanded, perhaps integrating it more deeply with shells like Zsh and Fish using plugins. Standalone builds of the CLI would also be great for better package management (e.g., with Nixpkgs).

Integration of Cody into more of the SDLC would be a game changer - think code review.

Cody should act more like a senior engineer. Don't take everything I say as the best solution or a great idea. Push back and suggest alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with VS Code is excellent.

The ability to provide web URLs for additional context is very useful.

I use it every day for work and my own projects.

Being able to switch LLMs is handy to get subtly different views on things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not a lot to dislike.

It would be handy if it could take visual input.

It occasionally gets the selected text wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've tried several AI programming assistants, but most of them work in almost the same way—except for Cody. Cody stands out by allowing you to keep your codebase context at hand, enabling you to ask questions and request help to solve problems. Cody can suggest changes or improvements to different files and their dependencies. You can also easily test and compare results from various models and reference files or specific parts of files with ease. I highly recommend Cody. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel the outputs get weird and not doing what I want. I don't know if it is Cody or the AI provider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Option to use multiple LLMs for a fair price but to be fair only using Claude Sonnet 3.5 since Anthropic's IDE integration is non-existent. Works excellent with VSCode. Has shortened my delivery times by a lot, it's become a thing that's I'm using daily on almost every task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On Intellij it'll always freeze upon restaring work after MacOS has gone to sleep and entire IDE needs to be restarted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to give a concise question and to hand context over to Cody so that it can diagnose issues has been immeasurably helpful in getting projects off of the ground without having to constantly reach towards documentation or Stack Overflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't come across any downsides yet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
