GitHub Copilot Insight

Your AI pair programmer in the editor

Copilot remains the most polished in-editor AI assistant. The 2024 updates added a multi-model picker (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini) and an agent mode that can plan and execute multi-file refactors. Tight Git and PR integration make it especially valuable on real codebases.
