I’m really looking forward to Copilot Chat because it will then have access to the context of what I’m programming or trying to solve. Using GitHub Copilot with Visual Studio gives you more time for creativity by spending less time on boilerplate manual tasks and diagnosis. By gathering the right data from Visual Studio, Copilot grasps your intent and helps you form exactly the right question to get useful answers. If an exception gets thrown, ask Copilot to help you figure out possible causes and even suggest fixes. When you hit an error, ask Copilot to help fix it and generate unit tests. With GitHub Copilot chat, if you find yourself needing more information, you can ask it to explain the code you’re working on.

Already excited? Sign up for the private preview below. Watch out for more AI assistance across your whole lifecycle as we continue to develop Copilot. Check out the video below to see what we mean. That means it can quickly help you get in-depth analysis and explanations of how a code block works, generate unit tests, and even find and get proposed fixes to bugs, or explain exceptions.

This is no ordinary chat! With tight integration in Visual Studio, it understands what you’re working on. We’re bringing fully integrated AI-powered Copilot chat experiences to Visual Studio. That’s just the beginning though! We’ve been working to evolve Copilot to move beyond code completion and provide enhanced AI assistance that you can access throughout your development lifecycle, whatever task you happen to be doing at the time. GitHub Copilot has become a trusted AI-assisted pair programmer helping to auto-complete comments and code more productively.
