Reviewer scorecard
“Universal code search across repos is a superpower for large orgs. Cody AI assistant with full codebase context is excellent.”
“Best open-source coding agent. SWE-bench performance is impressive and the architecture is well-designed.”

“Benchmark performance doesn't equal real-world reliability. Still needs human review for anything important.”
“AI-powered code understanding at scale is the foundation for the next generation of developer tools.”
“Open-source coding agents will democratize software engineering productivity. SWE-Agent leads this movement.”
