Github Copilot

GitHub Copilot is an AI coding assistant built to help developers write, review, understand, and improve code faster. It works inside popular development environments such as VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, Xcode, Eclipse, Zed, Raycast, SQL Server Management Studio, GitHub, and the command line. Instead of switching between documentation, search results, and manual debugging, developers can use Copilot directly inside their coding workflow to get code suggestions, ask technical questions, generate tests, explain code, review pull requests, and work with AI agents.

The platform is useful for individual developers, engineering teams, students, open-source maintainers, startup teams, and enterprise software organizations. GitHub Copilot supports inline code completions, chat, agent mode, code review, cloud agents, and Copilot CLI. Its plans page lists a free plan with 50 agent mode or chat requests per month, 2,000 code completions per month, access to models such as Haiku 4.5 and GPT-5 mini, and Copilot CLI. Paid plans include Pro at $10 per month and Pro+ at $39 per month, with higher premium request limits and additional capabilities.

One of GitHub Copilot’s biggest strengths is that it fits into the tools developers already use. GitHub describes Copilot as working across GitHub, IDEs, project tools, chat applications, and custom MCP servers, helping teams keep their normal workflow while adding AI support. For businesses, GitHub Copilot Business adds governance, code context controls, and AI assistance from the IDE to GitHub and CLI. Overall, GitHub Copilot is a strong choice for teams that want to speed up software development, reduce repetitive coding work, improve reviews, and support developers across the full coding lifecycle.
