“How GitHub’s Copilot Chat Enables Developers to Easily Seek Code Assistance”
Earlier this year, GitHub rolled out Copilot Chat, a ChatGPT-like programming-centric chatbot, for organizations subscribed to Copilot for Business.
Copilot Chat more recently came to individual Copilot customers — those paying $10 per month — in beta.
“And code complete was just the beginning.”Little else about Copilot Chat has changed since the beta.
Developers can prompt Copilot Chat in natural language to get real-time guidance, for example asking Copilot Chat to explain concepts, detect vulnerabilities or write unit tests.
Like all generative AI models, the model underpinning Copilot Chat, GPT-4, was trained on publicly available data — some of which is copyrighted or under a restrictive license.
