I was granted access to Github Copilot Workspace. It’s Github’s AI Coding Assistant built into Github.com where you can go from Github Issue to a Pull Request. I tried it, it’s pretty cool. The PR the service generated in my transcripts repo is here. The workspace is viewable here.

The workflow is:

1. Create an Issue

Create an Issue

2. Agent will create a spec

That you can edit

Agent will create a specification

3. Agent will create a plan

The agent creates a plans of what files will be edited according to your spec.

4. Agent will create commits

The agent then creates commits and a pull request! There’s also a chat interface to make revisions which is cool.
