Its ok to take money and do some ad based videos but do you really need to have all the clickbait thumbnails and titles for an ad video? Really man?

[sixthsense]

Its limited to 5 prompts per chat/reply although it lets you chat after the limit but it gets confused after the limit and suggests to start a new chat then you have to input what you want it to do on the previoues chat which will then spend 1 or 2 of the 5 reply limit, I'm using pro version btw.

[Learnbynet]

hum, most pro developers don't really care about chat with AI !
They are more concerned with IntelliSense and context auto-suggestions during coding flow.
I just like to code, and copilot understand what I am doing, I just need to use the tab key in most cases!
That's the productivity I'm looking for.
All other features are a bonus but not a priority for me, and for now copilot doing the job.

Cool, I will give Cody a try later. Here is one thing I want a project aware AI assistant to do: "given the project description and tech stack we just arrived at, create all the directories and files, with boilerplate, connections (API, imports, schemas, etc ), and comments to outline the functions in each file. Thanks"

[barthaziandras]

I've tried it, but not convinced. At least the auto code suggestions are missing or not working as good as Copilot, and I feel that those are accelerating me. I've tried the chat as well, most of the time it just messed up the code (inserted the suggestion at wrong position), or used not existing variables, or generated wrong code. In summary, it is working as in your video, but Copilot is far better. Also, it triggered me to look around again, thanks. :)

It would be nice if the /smell feature cited specific lines. It tends to give a vague reference to something to change but doesn't give any indication as to where it saw the issue. It does reference the name of the method but, not always. I saw one instance where it was suggesting that I use the string builder instead of concatenation but, I didn't see what it was talking about in my code. I thought maybe it had dug deeper into referenced files but I really couldn't find what it was talking about.

I'm just now checking out Cody and I gotta say, Copilot has some serious catching up to do. This is fricken awesome!

[blarvinius]

Cool! I will try Cody soon. What I want from AI coding assistant: "create a complete project scaffold for the project as we have just agreed/described. Directories, files, libraries, connections (imports, exports, etc), schema, ENV, and in the files scaffold out the high level program structure with comments. Thanks AI."

What's the privacy/IP protection like? MS are able to assure this and offer to finance any legal issues relating to this if it's determined that IP is plagiarised.

Great news is that all Pro features are free till Feb, Great tool man

[HansMagnusNedreberg]

Great stuff!
However, I keep getting "Request Failed: found consecutive messages with the same speaker 'assistant'" quite often.
Do you guys encounter that too?

[knjlcwx]

Been trying it and copilot still the reliable one . But hopefully cody will improve too both are great tool

[RamrachaiMarma]

Thanks. I tried it and works greats like copilot

[White_Ghost]

i am using vscode and when i use graphics.h header file is is saying update include path and squggle so please help me

[aydogang]

Hey, I'm a big fan of your youtube channel. You always make such informative videos that teach me a lot. But I have to say, I was a bit let down by your latest video. You used a clickbait title to promote a tool that you were sponsored by. That's not cool, man. You don't need to resort to these cheap tricks to get views. You have a loyal audience that trusts you and values your content. Please don't compromise your integrity for some quick cash. Keep creating awesome content that helps people. Cheers.

[adriandev]

basically it's like copilot chat which is available with copilot subscription. Also copilot chat has better shortcuts

[Fang]

I wonder if Cody AI will analyze small project / 4 files, driver source/ and give some advice for improving?

[goonie]

Working with the vs plugin using wls2 for this project, it has no ability to view either my public repo nor local directory, yet it makes this claim. Am I missing something here, is there a tutorial on setting up the visibility of my project so that I can see if Cody truly works as they claim?

[chqymhi]

Whenever I try the Chat. It give an error "Sourcegraph Cody Gateway: unexpected status 403:{"error":"Cody Gateway access is not enabled"}. question is where you enable it for the free version? I search it mention about cody.enabled via the site-config flat in the enterprise version. Anyone know how to resolve this?
