GitHub opens Copilot Chat to all developers
GitHub has announced that Copilot Chat is now available to all developers, ushering in a new era of AI-powered software development.
Copilot Chat was launched for ‘Business’ users in July. The AI assistant is capable of assisting developers in their preferred natural language and promises to reduce repetitive tasks.
Developers can use the assistant to explore new languages or frameworks, troubleshoot bugs, and/or seek answers to coding questions, all while remaining within their IDE. This reduction in the need for context switching streamlines development, allowing developers to maintain their focus and productivity.
One noteworthy feature of GitHub Copilot Chat is its real-time guidance—offering suggestions, best practices, tips, and solutions tailored to specific coding challenges. This guidance enables developers to learn new languages or enhance their skills rapidly.
