GitHub releases an AI-powered tool aiming
|On Monday, the company launched a technical preview of GitHub Copilot Workspace, an AI-powered developer environment. The release builds on GitHub’s existing productivity tools, including GitHub Copilot, launched in 2022, and Copilot Chat, which lets programmers use natural language to test and debug their code.“Within Copilot Workspace, developers can now brainstorm, plan, build, test, and run code in natural language,” the announcement explains. “This new task-centric experience leverages different Copilot-powered agents from start to finish, while giving developers full control over every step of the process.”
Copilot Workspace gives developers end-to-end AI support on whatever they’re building, aiming to assist where many programmers get blocked: the beginning of a project. Starting with a GitHub repository or issue, engineers can work with AI-powered agents to address bugs and test possible solutions.
