Microsoft's GitHub division has introduced a new AI tool called Copilot, designed to assist with specific programming tasks. This includes managing code repositories, checking, and modifying code. Copilot allows GitHub to integrate original code into existing documents seamlessly.

GitHub's CEO, Thomas Dohmke, highlighted that the AI can perform tasks ranging from adding features and fixing bugs to extending tests, refactoring code, and improving documentation. These tasks are carried out in thoroughly tested code libraries and involve low to medium complexity.
