GitHub Copilot Chat now generally available for organizations and individuals

Recently, we announced that GitHub Copilot Chat in IDEs is now generally available for both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio, and is included in all GitHub Copilot plans alongside the original GitHub Copilot productivity boosting code completion capabilities. It is also available at no cost to verified teachers, students, and maintainers of popular open source projects. As of now, GitHub Copilot Chat is still in the private beta for JetBrains IDEs.

If you’ve been using Copilot Chat in public beta or have already provided access to your development team, no additional actions are required. There’s also no need to install any additional extensions; Copilot chat extension is bundled together with the Copilot extension.

Enterprise and organization administrators can grant their development teams access to Copilot Chat by enabling the Copilot Chat setting for their users.

Please check out our guide for getting started with Copilot chat.

Looking forward to hearing about how you’re putting it to use!
