Copilot Workspace: What It Is, How It Works, Why It Matters

GitHub Next introduced Copilot Workspace, a task-oriented development environment that integrates generative AI models into coding environments. The workspace allows developers to brainstorm, plan, build, test, and run code using natural language conversations and prompts. It follows a task-to-code workflow, starting with task creation and flowing into specification, planning, and coding. Steering points are implemented between the given task and suggested code, allowing developers to guide the model when it misunderstands requests or misses edge cases. The workspace is useful for tasks such as fixing bugs and implementing features.
