We know how much easier it is when you can find everything you’re looking for, right where you’ve landed. That’s why we’ve brought GitHub Copilot over to your GitHub dashboard, making it easier than ever to harness the power of AI-assisted coding in the place you already call home.

You can now ask Copilot anything you like using the input at the top of github.com, either by selecting one of our example prompts or by typing your own words. Doing so will open the immersive GitHub Copilot chat experience, where you can continue your conversation with Copilot.

Copilot on the dashboard is available to all users with access to Copilot chat on github.com.
