GitHub Copilot adds AI help directly to the editors developers already use. It suggests code as you type, answers questions in a chat panel, and offers an agent mode that can make larger changes. It also works on GitHub itself, for example to help with pull requests.
Because it plugs into Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs and other editors, you can adopt it without changing your setup. It is a natural choice for teams that already work on GitHub.
