Microsoft GitHub recently launched Copilot Chat public beta, the AI tool is mainly used to help developers write code and can be directly integrated into the developer’s desktop IDE environment.
It is reported that Copilot Chat is not only limited to “code default supplement” and “code error correction”, but also directly based on the above, automatically associated with the latter.
GitHub claims that developers, regardless of their level of experience, can use Copilot Chat to build complete applications or debug code bases in minutes, increasing developer productivity and code accuracy.
GitHub also says that in addition to helping developers with code, Copilot Chat is an AI tool that can also engage in dialogue with developers, making interactions with AI more nuanced.
According to GitHub’s research, using GitHub Copilot can significantly improve developer productivity. In a controlled study, developers were 55% faster with GitHub Copilot. And early research from GitHub also showed that an average of 46% of code across all programming languages was generated using GitHub Copilot, and among Java developers, that number was even higher at 61%.
Currently, GitHub says that the Copilot Chat public beta is available to all enterprise users, and all that is required is to confirm the user agreement in the Copilot tab, and after accepting the terms, the AI tool can be enabled.
