Copilot Extensions [GA]

[glider-bot]

Value Proposition

The GitHub Copilot Extensibility Platform enables both first-party and third-party developers to enhance Copilot’s capabilities by integrating external tools and data sources directly into the development workflow. This lets users perform complex, orchestrated tasks beyond code and text generation, bringing external tools right into Copilot Chat. With extensions in GA, developers can rely on improved platform stability, clear support SLAs, OIDC support, transparent messages about data access limits, and availability across new environments like Mobile and JetBrains(with more to come).

Customer Outcome

As Copilot Extensions move into GA, developers and organizations can now tailor Copilot’s capabilities to fit their unique tech stack, boosting productivity across teams. Admins can control over which GitHub organization and repository data is accessible to extensions through app authorizations, with transparent messages around permission gates. Organizations can also build and share private, enterprise-grade extensions, ensuring consistency and streamlined workflows across teams and projects. This enables secure, efficient task automation and context retrieval, cutting down research time and accelerating developer velocity.
