“Hey, GitHub” What’s New?

[Akash1134]

Hello technophiles! I am sure you enjoyed GitHub Universe 🦆 last week. The AI track ⏩ was packed with jaw-dropping new feature announcements and amazing presentations. In case you missed any of the live sessions or you’re up for a rewatch 👀 , you can view sessions from all the content tracks. If you’d prefer a written TL;DR, we’ve got you covered.

Hot 🔥 New Hype - Write code without the keyboard ⌨️

We are working on a new tool that’ll let you code with voice commands. 😯 Copilot’s new voice assistant can understand your coding instructions with ease and is swift to suggest a code snippet, or summarize what a specific section of code does.

Right now "Hey, GitHub!" only reduces the need for a keyboard when coding within VS Code, but we hope to expand its capabilities through further research and testing. You can sign up for the technical preview to join the waitlist. 🎯

Coming 🔜 - GitHub Copilot for Business 🕴️

After making its impact ✨ with individual users, GitHub Copilot for business is all set to launch 🚀 for the enterprises. It will soon help business users increase developer productivity with AI-based coding suggestions. Join the waitlist to see what doors AI can open for your business! 💯
