GitHub Chat integrates with various AI coding assistants like Cursor and Claude to facilitate instant understanding of codebases. It provides a straightforward API for indexing GitHub repositories and querying them for detailed information about their contents and technologies used. Unlike GitHub Copilot, GitHub Chat offers repository-wide analysis and a public API for developers.

Copilot Spaces is a new feature introduced by GitHub that enhances collaboration among developers by providing a shared workspace to work with code and context. This feature allows teams to organize their projects more effectively and improves the coding experience with real-time collaboration tools. Users can interact with code in a more contextual manner, making it easier to understand and manage complex projects.

GitHub Copilot has reached a significant milestone, surpassing 20 million users since its launch. This growth highlights the increasing adoption of AI-assisted coding tools among developers, reflecting a shift in how software is created and the rising reliance on artificial intelligence in programming workflows.

Secure Code Warrior has released a set of free AI Security Rules on GitHub to help developers ensure secure coding practices while using AI-assisted coding tools. These lightweight, adaptable rules serve as guidelines for safer defaults in projects, addressing common security flaws across web frontend, backend, and mobile applications. The initiative aims to enhance security in the fast-paced environment of modern software development.

The GitHub Copilot coding agent is now available in public preview, allowing developers to access advanced AI-assisted coding features. This version aims to enhance productivity by providing intelligent code suggestions and improving overall coding efficiency. Feedback from users will help shape the future development of the tool.

Omnara is a platform that enhances interaction with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex CLI, allowing users to monitor and communicate with them through a web dashboard and mobile app. Installation is straightforward via package managers, and it supports real-time collaboration, particularly within n8n workflows and GitHub Actions. The platform is open-source and offers different pricing tiers for users, catering to various needs from individual developers to enterprise teams.

Jules automates tedious coding tasks such as bug fixing, version bumps, and feature building, allowing developers to focus on more important coding activities. It integrates with GitHub, fetching repositories and providing detailed plans for updates, while offering different plans based on user needs for task volume and concurrency. With the Gemini 2.5 Pro model, Jules enhances productivity by handling multiple tasks efficiently.
