GitHub Copilot Extensions: third-party tools inside Copilot Chat
In one sentence GitHub announces Copilot Extensions in limited public beta: tools from partners such as DataStax, Docker, LaunchDarkly, Microsoft Azure, MongoDB, Sentry and Stripe usable from Copilot Chat, plus private extensions for organizations.
On May 21, 2024 GitHub announced Copilot Extensions, launched in a limited public beta. With extensions, external services can be used directly from Copilot Chat, in natural language, without leaving the editor or GitHub.com.
The first group of partners named by GitHub includes DataStax, Docker, LaunchDarkly, Microsoft Azure and Teams, MongoDB, Sentry and Stripe. Beyond public extensions, organizations can build private ones for their internal tools.
It marks Copilot's shift from a code-suggestion assistant to an entry point for the tools in a developer's workflow.
