Copilot

When you type code or comments, GitHub Copilot suggests the next line of code. But it’s not only a single word or line of code. GitHub Copilot can suggest complete methods, boilerplate code, whole unit tests, and even complex algorithms.

Since the launch of GitHub Copilot technical preview last year, it’s become abundantly clear that AI is one of the best tools to empower the next generation of developers. Already, AI is acting as a copilot in our daily lives. It’s helping us write emails and essays, automatically generate photo albums of our loved ones, and even acts as a digital assistant to help us order groceries. But until now, AI has stopped short of improving code, leaving the process of developing software almost completely manual. That’s changing now. Now GitHub Copilot is generally available to individual developers.

Google has made a significant change to its Workspace suite, offering all its AI features - previously exclusive to the Gemini Business plan - at no extra cost. Until recently, users needed to pay an additional $20 per user per month to access these tools within Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and other apps. Now, these features are included for free, signaling Google’s push to stay competitive with Microsoft, OpenAI, and others in the race to deliver the most advanced AI-powered office suite.
