How It Works​

The Chrome extension acts as a bridge between your browser and your local Cody CLI instance:

  1. Browser — Detects code blocks, PR diffs, and documentation on supported sites
  2. Extension — Extracts relevant context and sends it to the local CLI
  3. Cody CLI — Processes the request using the AINative API
  4. Extension — Renders the response inline in your browser
ℹ️Local-First Architecture

All communication stays between your browser and your local machine. The extension never sends code directly to cloud services — it always goes through your authenticated Cody CLI instance.
