Individual developers can now pay $10 per month to have AI help them code.
GitHub has officially launched Copilot to help make coding a bit less painful. The company started testing Copilot, which it describes as „your AI pair programmer“, in June 2021. Now it’s finally ready to release the feature to individual developers—Copilot won’t be available to companies using GitHub’s platform until sometime later this year—who are willing to spend $10 per month or $100 per year to have AI write at least some of their code for them.
„We specifically designed GitHub Copilot as an editor extension to make sure nothing gets in the way of what you’re doing“, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke says in a blog post. „GitHub Copilot distills the collective knowledge of the world’s developers into an editor extension that suggests code in real time, to help you stay focused on what matters most: building great software.
