Copilot Enterprise, our most advanced AI offering to date, is now generally available. With Copilot Enterprise, you can:

• ⚡ Gain a deeper understanding of your organization’s unique codebase: Copilot Chat in GitHub.com understands your code and streamlines code navigation and comprehension for developers.
• ✨ Quickly access organizational knowledge and best practices: By letting developers attach knowledge bases (formerly known as docsets) to conversations, Copilot Chat in GitHub.com can answer questions based on your Markdown documentation stored on GitHub.
• ⏩ Review pull requests faster: With pull request summaries generated by Copilot and the ability to chat about changes in a pull request, reviewers can get up to speed on a pull request quickly and spend more time providing valuable feedback.

Following on from our limited public beta, we are bringing the following improvements to Copilot Enterprise today to make Copilot even smarter:

• 1️⃣ Copilot can now search Bing within chat conversations in GitHub.com to answer questions and find information outside of its general knowledge or your codebase (public beta).
• 2️⃣ You can now access your knowledge bases (formerly known as docsets) from any Copilot Chat conversation in GitHub.com with the “Attach knowledge” button. Organization owners can create knowledge bases from an organization’s settings.
• 3️⃣ Copilot knows about code as you browse, so you no longer have to be explicit about exactly what file, symbol or snippet you want to chat about.

• 4️⃣ Copilot generates pull summaries that are now more structured, with a “Summary” section that gives a high-level overview, and an “Outline” section that walks through the code.
• 5️⃣ Copilot can now analyze and explain any pull request diff, making it easier for pull request reviewers to understand changes and share great feedback.

Get started with Copilot Enterprise

Ready to give Copilot Chat in GitHub.com a try? Here are some suggested prompts to get you started:

• Ask a question about recent events to trigger a Bing search: What updates were there in Node.js v20?
• Open Copilot Chat on a repository and ask a question about the repository: Where is the turnOn function defined?
• Open a file on GitHub.com and ask a question about that file: Draft unit test cases for each of the functions in the file I’m currently viewing.

Our most advanced AI offering to date is customized to your organization’s knowledge and codebase, infusing GitHub Copilot throughout the software development lifecycle. Learn more about the Copilot Enterprise in this blog post. 🚀

Are those features only available when using Copilot Chat in GitHub.com or also in my IDE of choice?

[Akash1134]

Hi @gmathi2 , Thanks for dropping in your question :) The features launched with Copilot Enterprise are currently specific to Copilot Chat experience in GitHub.com.

[gmathi2]

@Akash1134 I suppose this will also apply to the announced "fine-tuned models"? No tuning on repos not hosted on GitHub.com?

[AriMKatz]

Hi @Akash1134 so no access to personalized codebase/doc rag in vscode????? That's the only feature I care about and is frankly critical

[gmathi2]

@AriMKatz Maybe they will find a way to give you access to a fine tuned model based on your codebase in VS code, but I'm afraid they won't find a way to tune a model if your codebase is not hosted on GitHub.com.

[AriMKatz]

I don't mean a finetuned model. I'm talking about personalized chat based on rag from indexed codebases /knowledge stores

Nice

For the feature "Gain a deeper understanding of your organization’s unique codebase", is the codebase has to be stored in GitHub Enterprise? So, for companies which are using other code repository tools, they can't have access to this feature? Btw, I can't find any information on this feature from the documentation published so far.
