GitHub Copilot Chat builds upon the work that OpenAI and Microsoft have done with ChatGPT and the new Bing. A developer can get in-depth analysis and explanations of what code blocks are intended to do, generate unit tests, and even get proposed fixes to bugs.

It recognizes what code a developer has typed, what error messages are shown, and it’s deeply embedded into the IDE. GitHub Copilot Chat is not just a chat window. A ChatGPT-like experience in your editor with GitHub Copilot Chat: We are bringing a chat interface to the editor that’s focused on developer scenarios and natively integrates with VS Code and Visual Studio.A new AI-powered developer experience 🧑💻 Learn more > Many developers and companies have already used GitHub Copilot, and it’s helping improve productivity and happiness. Want to see what’s new? Discover GitHub Copilot X-our vision for the future of AI-powered software development. By doing so, we’re enabling every developer to focus all their creativity on the big picture: building the innovation of tomorrow and accelerating human progress, today. We are reducing boilerplate and manual tasks and making complex work easier across the developer lifecycle. With AI available at every step, we can fundamentally redefine developer productivity. We are not only adopting OpenAI’s new GPT-4 model, but are introducing chat and voice for Copilot, and bringing Copilot to pull requests, the command line, and docs to answer questions on your projects. This is GitHub Copilot X-our vision for the future of AI-powered software development. Our R&D team at GitHub Next has been working to move past the editor and evolve GitHub Copilot into a readily accessible AI assistant throughout the entire development lifecycle.

And less than two years since its launch, GitHub Copilot is already writing 46% of code and helps developers code up to 55% faster.īut AI-powered auto-completion is just the starting point.

GitHub Copilot started a new age of software development as an AI pair programmer that keeps developers in the flow by auto-completing comments and code. We partnered with OpenAI to create GitHub Copilot, the world’s first at-scale generative AI development tool made with OpenAI’s Codex model, a descendent of GPT-3. When we began experimenting with large language models several years ago, it quickly became clear that generative AI represents the future of software development. At GitHub, our mission has always been to innovate ahead of the curve and give developers everything they need to be happier and more productive in a world powered by software.
