GitHub Universe 2023 - Day 1

Open source and Git have fundamentally transformed how we build software. It is now evident that AI is ushering in the same sweeping change, and at an exponential pace. In just a short period, GitHub Copilot has expanded and evolved GitHub into the world’s leading AI-powered developer platform.

GitHub CEO - Thomas Dhomke's remarks

We are certain this foundational transformation of the GitHub platform, and categorically new way of software development, is necessary in a world dependent on software. Every day, the world’s developers balance an unsustainable demand to both modernize the legacy code of yesterday and build our digital tomorrow. It is our guiding conviction to make it easier for developers to do it all, from the creative spark to the commit, pull request, code review, and deploy—and to do it all with GitHub Copilot deeply integrated into the developer experience.

Let’s jump into this new reality.

Copilot Chat will be generally available in December 2023 as part of your existing GitHub Copilot subscription, for organizations and individuals. This offering is also available at no cost to verified teachers, students, and maintainers of popular open source projects.

GitHub Copilot Chat is coming to github.com and our mobile app

GitHub is the place where projects get started, where developers collaborate, and where the open source community builds and maintains the world’s code. Now, we’re integrating GitHub Copilot Chat directly into github.com, so developers can dig into code, pull requests, documentation, and general coding questions with Copilot Chat providing suggestions, summaries, analysis, and answers. And, combined with the power of GitHub’s advanced code search, we are enabling Copilot Chat to understand and help with the latest changes to popular open source projects.

Bringing it all together in our AI-powered developer platform

The intersection of human and artificial intelligence will continue to define the future generations of GitHub Copilot across our platform. Everything we’re announcing is focused on one thing: bringing a holistic, productive, and seamless AI-powered developer platform to developers—no matter what you’re building.

Whether you’re a startup of five using GitHub Actions to ship your mobile app to the world, a large enterprise of thousands of developers migrating to GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Codespaces to improve innersource collaboration, or a group of open source developers sharing the next piece of digital infrastructure on GitHub—we innovate to empower every developer on the planet to accelerate human progress.

Just like the introduction of Git and the creation of GitHub, this next era will be built on the foundation of GitHub Copilot. And we’re just getting started.
