Gen AI: Creating GitHub Copilot Extensions
GitHub Copilot Extensions are integrations designed to enhance GitHub Copilot’s functionality by allowing it to interact with external tools, services, and custom workflows directly within development environments. These extensions enable developers to perform tasks such as querying databases, monitoring deployments, retrieving documentation, or automating actions without leaving their coding interface, thereby reducing context switching and improving productivity.
In this presentation, we’ll explore how to extend GitHub Copilot’s functionality to work with your own apps through the GitHub Copilot Extensibility Platform. Attendees will learn about Copilot Agents, skillsets, and VS Code chat participants – the 3 ways to interact with the platform.
