Copilot is just Microsoft's term for AI. How many products have Copilot? Just about all of them.
Is it in solitaire or minesweeper?

Git is a distributed source control system. It's open source and you can use it to version source code on your drive and/or a remote git repository. Github is one of the most popular git repository hosts. In addition to source repositories, it has other services like issue tracking and wikis. A while back, Microsoft bought Github. "Github Copilot" is a service you can buy (with limited free sku) from Github that adds…
Sidenote but I don't get why you would want to pay github to run Claude on your code. Yeah github pays Claude but what's the point ?
Most corporations have Microsoft already greenlisted as a vendor.
Making it possible to buy something from Anthropic might require tedious paperwork for many of them.

The workflow that GitHub has for prompting agent inside the ide itself is by far and away the nicest and most intuitive I've used. Claude's integration looked like trash in comparison. Why would I lock myself into a single vendor when I can have access to all models. Also the GitHub subscription is a very good price.
Yeah, the workflow is superb. That’s what I miss most using Claude in a terminal inside VSCode. It doesn’t integrate with VSCode native diff tools like the native VSCode (GitHub Copilot does. The Claude extension in non-terminal mode is crap.

#85Ignoring the disaster that is their branding/naming.
Copilot is _amazing_. Everyone is hyping about Claude, but I'm way more productive with the copilot cli. The copilot cloud agent is great, and copilot code review is great (we also tried the new very expensive claude code review - it was slow and expensive).
Forget that it's Microsoft, forget that everything is Copilot and go and give it a shot.

#86Blame brain dead product managers who merely want to hoist their poor quality yearly performance review slop on something existing that carries SEO/SEM value.
Most of the time, these piggy backers only pull down the value of what they're riding on.

#87Related: a list of all Microsoft login portals (there are 609 of them).

#88It's MSN, Plus, Live, Surface, 365 all over again
I’m waiting for .Net Copilot with integration to Passport.
Kid: you are playing with forces of nature you cannot comprehend :-)
That being said: I would love someone from Marketing and Branding to explain me this “Copilot everywhere” because it is unintelligible (unless they want to dilute it through over exposure).

#89For a moment it was called Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. Naming things is hard.
Reminds me of Microsoft OneCare which sounds like saying 'wanker' with a slight French accent
Claude sounds like bollocks in Dutch ('kloot')
Pretty sure bollocks was the literal example I read on HN like 10 years ago of what your cool-sounding product name will turn out to mean in Spanish, but I can't remember if the moral of the story was to check every language or to just accept it because it'll happen anyway
Anyway, the various tech podcasts caught on after a few episodes and seem to now pronounce it more foreignly, so it's now more like clod

#90Surprisingly, I immediately noticed that “Gaming Copilot” is missing (i.e. The version of Copilot that Microsoft shoehorned into the Xbox mobile app).
> “Gaming Copilot” is missing It would be ironic if there was nothing called "CoPilot" for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
