GitHub Copilot, powered by OpenAI Codex, lives inside your code editor (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.). As you type, it suggests whole lines or functions of code. It acts as a super-powered autocomplete that understands the context of your project.

For developers, it significantly speeds up writing boilerplate code, unit tests, and common algorithms. Copilot Chat allows you to ask questions about your code, debug errors, and refactor code using natural language.

Key Features:

• Autocomplete: Ghost text suggestions as you type.
• Chat: Ask questions about your codebase.
• Multi-language: Supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, and more.

Verdict: The industry standard AI tool for developers.
