Level: General

Copilot Workspace is a reimagined developer inner loop. The focal points of the experience are selecting a task, expressing intent, and then collaborating with AI towards a solution. We believe this can dramatically reduce complexity, improve productivity, and delight developers, without taking away the aspects of software development that they value most, such as decision making, creativity, and ownership. You can give Copilot Workspace an issue, and it will automatically propose a solution. Copilot Workspace has the full context of both the issue and of your codebase, so it understands both what you are trying to do and the specifics of your code. If the solution Copilot Workspace proposed isn’t quite right, you can intervene at any step of the process, from specification, to plan, to code, and even validation. The workflow ends with the developer creating a pull request to share their changes with the rest of their team for review.
