[Akash1134]

Today we're announcing the general availability of GitHub Copilot Chat as well as previews of the new GitHub Copilot Enterprise offering, new AI-powered security features, and the GitHub Copilot Partner Program.

In March, we shared our vision for the future of software development with Copilot X, seamlessly integrating AI into the developer lifecycle. Since then, we've been refining the technology, making our vision a reality.

Check out this blog post by GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, where he shares how Copilot is transforming GitHub into the AI-powered developer platform. Let's delve into the exciting developments:

GitHub Copilot Workspace seems like a Gamechanger! Cant wait for it's release. :)

[gitstua]

Thanks @mahesh-s33 - looks like you are as excited as we are as we use AI to improve Developer Experience 🚀

Yasss I can't wait 🙌

Agreed. I think I'm the target customer. I'm a beginner at software development, but I've got decades of process design and product design experience. I've already pushed Chat GPT to its limit for building a site. I need an IDE that spans all files and helps me work through requirements while minimizing incompatible variables and maintaining consistency in the site architecture. If I can do this, I'll avoid having to raise $M to get the idea off the ground.

[mishmanners]

Really excited to see this! 🥳 🚀

[AleksRG]

Me too!

Does Copilot Chat will be available in December 2023 mean 1 Dec or some time Dec 2023? We would like to enable it, but waiting for GA due to the T's and C's for beta releases.
