Embeddings

Learn how you can use embeddings with Cody for better code understanding.

What are embeddings?

Embeddings are a semantic representation of text that allows you to create a search index over your codebase. Cody splits your codebase into searchable chunks and sends them to an external service specified in your site's configuration for embedding. The resulting embedding index is stored in your local hard drive.
