GitHub Copilot Chat is a companion extension to GitHub Copilot that provides conversational AI assistance throughout your software development journey in VS Code.
GitHub introduced Copilot 3 years ago. It has evolved since then, adopting OpenAI’s GPT-4 with Copilot X and currently beta testing it in the CLI.
Recently, GitHub announced that GitHub Copilot Chat in IDEs is now generally available for both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio: read the announcement here
Has anyone tried it yet? Who's "prompt coding?"
Great launch! Upvoted. I've been following gen AI and other chat-to-code for some time now. Ended up creating a new product for web app generation, MERN.AI. If you are looking to generate and launch web apps without starting everything from scratch, do give it a try.

This is exactly what my AI project toolkit was missing. The plug - and - play aspect saves so much time. How well does it work with other common dev tools?

What makes Copilot valuable is not just code generation, but how naturally it fits into the development flow. It reduces the constant context switching between writing, searching, and debugging, which helps maintain momentum during implementation. The newer agent-style features like background task handling feel like an interesting shift beyond simple autocomplete.
