It will also join our voice-to-code AI technology extension we previously demoed, which we’re now calling GitHub Copilot Voice, where developers can verbally give natural language prompts.


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.


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.
