At GitHub, building for developer happiness means helping developers do their best work while staying in flow. That’s why I am excited to share that Copilot Extensions are now available in public beta. Whether you're an individual developer looking to use your favorite tools, or you’re a large enterprise wanting to augment GitHub Copilot with your own internal knowledge base, you now have the tools to customize and enhance your GitHub Copilot experience. Here’s an example from one of our launch partners, Atlassian. “At Atlassian, we view Copilot Extensions as a major boost in reducing context switching for developers as they write code,” said Josh Devenny, Atlassian Head of Product, Agile, and DevOps AI. “With our new Rovo-powered Atlassian extension for GitHub Copilot, developers can look up all of their requirements, testing plans, issues, and docs from Jira or Confluence directly in Copilot Chat at GitHub.com or their IDE—saving time and frustration.” Copilot Extensions will redefine how developers work with AI. I would love to hear from you if you have an idea for a Copilot Extension that will help developers build software better and faster. https://lnkd.in/enBi6CE2

Are the extensions essentially just leverage their documentation and API and letting Copilot add it to its Vector DB or are you doing something else in the architecture to let Copilot understand more context?

I believe that overly relying on AI could hinder developers' creativity and problem-solving skills in the long run. It's essential to maintain a balance between leveraging technology and fostering individual growth and expertise in software development.

This is really exciting! I got a brief introduction to Copilot within Microsoft Power Apps, but haven't used it in GitHub. I was very impressed with its capabilities in Power Apps.
