Qualtrics engineers understand code 25% faster and save up to 30 minutes daily with Sourcegraph Cody
Qualtrics' DevX team needed to improve productivity for over 1,000 engineers who lost time leaving their IDEs to find information and manually writing unit tests, while requiring a secure AI solution compatible with their self-hosted GitLab infrastructure.
