As developers write their code, Copilot will step in to make suggestions, much like the autocomplete feature in email applications like Gmail, but for code written in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, and other programming languages.
Copilot was built in collaboration with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence lab founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and others and that Microsoft invested $1 billion in last year. OpenAI adapted its GPT-3 language-prediction model for computer code for this project in a model it calls Codex.
