GitHub Copilot Labs is a tool run by the GitHub Next team, the R&D team of GitHub, to figure out new paths and methods to enable developers to benefit from Copilot in a new way.

Check Github Next [0], much more AI to come. All the broad features working together, while delighting users, create ever more vendor lock-in. Github is allowed to become this huge one-stop-shop online development platform. With increasing platform dominance, the enshittification inevitably follows.

A few notable examples of these leaps in AI technology include GPT-3.5, GPT-4, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-e 2, AutoGPT, and Github Next.

You can keep an eye on GitHub Next to see what they're currently working at and sign in for the waitlists.

The GitHub Next (their Skunkworks) page has a card for this under 'GitHub Copilot for your codebase'. It's currently WIP.

FYI, after digging down a few links from there and winding up at the GitHub Next org page[1], seeing the verified email [email protected] and the official site link to https://githubnext.com was enough validation for me.

Can't wait for Voice Copilot :)

As an industry, we’re learning to prioritize accessibility for the user. But, what about the developer? The GitHub Next team is making coding more accessible for developers of all backgrounds with the following experimental features:

Hey GitHub is part of GitHub Next, and if you don't know what it is let me quote their website:

To get started using GitHub Copilot Chat in VSCode, ensure that you have access to the extension by checking your email for access privileges. You get access privileges through your organization or by being taken off the waitlist for the private beta for individuals. You also need to ensure that you have an active GitHub Copilot subscription.

Using a tool like GitHub Copilot Chat, a developer could highlight a block of code and ask questions like the ones listed above. It's a great opportunity to interactively learn more about accessibility, the experience different users have on a website, and how best to ensure the pages they build are usable by everyone. The information will be contextual to their specific situation, making it more relevant and impactful to the developer.

To complete the second half of this tutorial, you will need access to Copilot Chat. Additionally, you need an active subscription to GitHub Copilot to access Copilot Chat. Learn more here.

Copilot Chat will probably be something you’ll like. Have you used it? There is a waitlist.
