GitHub Copilot Review
Copilot suggests whole functions and tests as you type, integrated with GitHub for context.
Overview
GitHub Copilot is the original AI pair programmer — now a full suite covering inline completions, chat, pull request reviews, and an autonomous Workspace mode. It lives where your code already lives.
Key Features
- Inline completions across 30+ languages
- Copilot Chat in VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim and Visual Studio
- Model picker with Claude, GPT and Gemini
- Copilot Workspace for issue-to-PR planning
- Automatic PR descriptions and code reviews on GitHub
- Enterprise-grade IP indemnification
