GitHub Copilot is the most widely used AI coding assistant, developed by GitHub and OpenAI, offering inline code completion, a chat interface, and autonomous agent mode ("Copilot Workspace") directly inside VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Neovim. It understands the full context of your codebase and can generate entire functions, tests, and documentation from natural language prompts. GitHub Copilot Workspace can independently plan, write, and run code to implement GitHub issues. Enterprise features include code referencing, IP indemnity, and security vulnerability filtering.
