GitHub launches ‘Copilot Enterprise’, an AI coding assistant for businesses

GitHub, a leading platform for open source software development, introduced today a new product aimed at helping large enterprises harness the power of artificial intelligence in their coding projects.

The product, called GitHub Copilot Enterprise, is an AI assistant that can generate code suggestions, answer queries, and summarize changes based on the organization’s own codebase and standards. Experts say the new offering signals a seismic shift in how software engineering teams will operate in the near future, essentially putting an AI programmer at every developer’s side.

“We’re moving away from a digital transformation to an AI transformation for a lot of these enterprise companies,” said Mario Rodriguez, GitHub’s VP of Product, in an interview with VentureBeat. “It might even become a productivity polarity between those who use it and those who don’t.”

Integrates GitHub AI throughout software lifecycle

Rodriguez explained that Copilot Enterprise goes far beyond GitHub’s free Copilot tool by integrating throughout the software development lifecycle.

It provides customized code suggestions based on an organization’s own codebase, answers questions about internal systems in plain English, and generates summaries of code changes — saving developers hours of manual work.
