JAKARTA - GitHub, Microsoft's software development collaboration platform announced a new project called CoPilot X, which will use the GPT-4 force, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model.

With the GPT-4 on CoPilot X, software developers can complete comments and codes automatically, offering personalization to each programming team, project, and repositories. This will be an extension of GitHub Pilot, which was officially launched in June 2022.

The tool will include a chat interface to code editors focused on the developer's scenario. Real integrated with Visual Studio Code, a source code editor created by Microsoft and the Visual Studio development environment.

"Developers can get an in-depth analysis and an explanation of what code blocks are meant to do, generate unit testing, and even get a fix proposal for bugs," GitHub said in a blog post.

Copilot chats will recognize what code developers typed, and what error messages are displayed, and are embedded into the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to store, track, and collaborate on software projects.

In addition, GitHub launched Copilot for Docs, which will enable the AI response to questions about software documentation, language, framework and technology used by developers with initial support for React, Azure Docs, and Mozilla Developer Network (MDN).

This tool will even support voice chats, thanks to the support of GitHub Copilot Voice. Users can register for a technical preview of the Copilot chat waiting list now.

Developers can now register for a technical preview of the first AI-generated description for pull request on GitHub, as quoted by Business Standard, Friday, March 24.

Demand for withdrawal basically refers to the changes made to the branches in GitHub's repository, which is a community of developers with millions of open source projects.

GitHub Pilot has written an average of 46 percent of code in all programming languages, helping developers code up to 55 percent faster in just two years after its launch.
