Microsoft is taking its Windows Terminal application to the next level by adding AI-driven features. This comes as part of its collaboration with the popular open source platform, GitHub Copilot. Beginning soon, Windows Terminal users will get to enjoy a natural language AI chatbot. This chat experience will prove useful in offering suggestions on commands, corrections on errors and completing other tasks in the Terminal application.
GitHub Copilot’s launch in Windows Terminal follows the recent announcement of its ChatGPT assistant that helps developers with coding. This move by Microsoft is a testament to the company’s commitment to using AI to create apps that are more user-friendly and efficient.
GitHub is an industry-leading collaboration platform for developers, hosted right within Microsoft’s Visual Studio, simplifying and automating many aspects of the software development process. The integration of GitHub Copilot within its Windows Terminal application will prove beneficial to users, allowing them to take advantage of powerful AI tools, from writing and fixing code to expansive natural language processing.
Panos Panay, Microsoft’s Chief, has illuminated the importance of this partnership in his blog post. He says that natural language AI will pave the way for a more smooth and productive experience in the Windows Terminal application.
This collaboration between Microsoft and GitHub Copilot was made possible due to their shared aim to make the process of software development simpler yet more intuitive. With the help of AI, Windows Terminal can become a more feature-packed application, making coding and development easier and efficient.
