Announcing GitHub CoPilotX: World’s Most Powerful Generative AI Pair Programming Tool

After peaking performance in search, customer service and outbound marketing campaigns, Voice is coming to coding. And, yes — this development features OpenAI’s ChatGPT4 technology, the generative AI capability that is transforming the way businesses connect with customers. GitHub users can now rejoice at the arrival of ChatGPT-based experience in their DevOps lifecycle. The new tool is built on the existing GitHub CoPilot platform. It uses advanced generative AI capabilities with the current OpenAI Codex to deliver chat and voice interfaces in their GitHub CopilotX workflow.

What are the benefits of using GPT4 in coding with GitHub?

In an email statement shared with AiThority.com, GiThub customers shared their experience about working in GPT4 environment.

Jerome Hardaway, Founder of #VetsWhoCode said: “It didn’t take long for me to switch to using GitHub Copilot for CLI full time. It’s been a great tool for doing the heavy lifting within the CLI. My favorite part is that I can ask simple questions around a task and it comes back to me with not only the command, but an explanation too. I love how much I have been able to downsize my workspace because of GitHub Copilot for docs. I don’t even need my super widescreen monitor – just my Mac and iPad.”

Elio Struyf Lead DevTools Engineer at Rapid added, “Copilot for docs is going to be a game-changer for any tool/product. With its AI-powered assistance, documentation will be easier to consume, and users can find answers without having to read through multiple pages. I believe this feature holds great potential for improving the overall user experience and increasing productivity for both developers and non-technical users.”

According to GitHub, developers are already saving time and effort with GitHub CopilotX. It is used to auto-write and test 46% of the code, making DevOps teams 55% faster in their coding workflows. 96% of GitHub users were faster with repetitive tasks while 88% felt Copilot juiced up their productivity significantly.

However, this is just the beginning for world’s first GPT-based AI pair programmer! The developers at GitHub Next are already onto the next assignment of developing world-class AI-powered development tools for different business cases. The announcement comes after GiThub went full-throttle with the GA of GitHub Enterprise Server 3.8, releasing new updates to GitHub Actions, repositories, and GitHub Advanced Security.

How would using GitHub CopilotX Benefit in AI-based Software Development?

Currently, DevOps teams spend  millions of dollars in innovating and testing their PLG strategies. Developing a customer-centric web or mobile application could take weeks and months to develop from prototype to a finalized product. Moreover, adding new capabilities such as AI, Automation, and IOT can increase the overall cost of software development. By offering GPT4 tools in software development within GitHub projects, Microsoft and OpenAI could train powerful AI models specifically built for advanced software development.

Now, GitHub Developers can use voice-to-code features available with CopilotX. This would allow developers and testers to go beyond the usual cadence of software development and merge their analytics with chat-based interactions in VS Code and Visual Studio. From understanding what each code block does to fixing bug in real time, AI pair programmer CoPilotX can verbally instruct the AI coder to create developer workflows.

That’s not all what GiThub CopilotX does using GPT4 from OpenAI Codex. Apart from sending prompts using natural language, Project Managers can also send AI-generated Pull Requests and recommendations to developers. First among many new AI-powered development for programming fraternity, CopilotX also sends automated recommendations and alerts on codes that need to be fixed for errors or bugs. Developers can then run environment-specific tests and experiments to meet the ongoing needs of the project.

In addition to launching voice-to-code feature and AI-generated Pull Requests, CopilotX is also offering AI-powered answers for documentation in React, Azure Docs, and MDN. Copilot for Docs accelerates the learning cycle for coders in an interactive way. And then, you have access to Copilot for CLI. Copilot for CLI provides three shell commands: ??, git? and gh?

In a nutshell, GitHub Copilot provides AI-based coding suggestions across different development platforms such as Neovim, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Code. It also ensures code confidentiality and resilient devops experience in challenging working conditions.
