Offering a solution that automatically completes code snippets, Copilot can analyze the code written by the developer before and generate new codes that match these codes.
The world's most popular code repository, GitHub, acquired by Microsoft in 2018, and OpenAI, serving as an artificial intelligence research company, announced an artificial intelligence-supported software tool that can generate its own code. The tool named "Copilot", which takes its power from artificial intelligence technology, is included in Visual Studio Code.
Offering a solution that automatically completes code snippets, Copilot can generate new codes that match these codes by analyzing both previously written and publicly written codes by the developer. The technical preview published on the information on Copilot's website currently works best with the Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby and Go languages.
Copilot, as the name suggests, serves as a tool that can assist you in your coding projects and complete the code you have written when necessary. According to the information shared by GitHub and OpenAI, the Copilot tool was developed together with a new artificial intelligence algorithm called OpenAI Codex.
Let's add that Copilot has the ability to learn thanks to artificial intelligence support. In short, Copilot solution will become smarter and more experienced each time it writes code.
Let's add that the Copilot project in question is the first fruit of Microsoft's OpenAI investment. To remind you, Microsoft, which also owns GitHub, invested $1 billion in OpenAI in July 2019. In short, the Copilot project was developed by GitHub, owned by Microsoft, and OpenAI, which is also an investor of Microsoft.
