If you're considering a complete CI/CD pipeline, you'll need to integrate various tools such as Jenkins for builds and ensure connectivity with platforms like AWS or Azure. All these aspects must be managed effectively. Therefore, it's essential to have a dedicated configuration management team to oversee and maintain the pipeline. We're working on developing our in-house AI tool. GitHub Copilot, closely integrated with Microsoft products like .NET, offers extensive support for various programming languages. For example, it supports a wide range of languages, while a customized tool might only cover around seventy percent of the same range. It definitely can do a little bit of statistical analysis and give recommendations. I would recommend considering GitHub Copilot. If you already use another tool, be aware of the migration effort required to switch to Copilot. Assess the process of adopting and onboarding Copilot to ensure a smooth transition. If you're moving from one tool to Copilot, you'll need to evaluate the migration effort involved. It’s essential to have early adopters to facilitate this process. Overall, I rate the solution a nine-point five out of ten.

The problem arises when a bot is not well-designed, which frustrates customers. For example, with our local Comcast cable company, if you need to repair something, you go on the app. They ask, "What's wrong?" You say, "My power cord melted. I need a new power cord." But the bot responds, "Oh, your Internet's not working?" So, it doesn't recognize unusual issues. Then, they make you go through troubleshooting, saying, "Your Internet looks good, but your device isn't plugged in." It's like, "Yes, I know. I want to speak to an agent." And it takes another ten minutes of trying different things before you finally get to an agent. This is an example of a poorly designed bot.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Oct 8, 2024

Valuable Features

"GitHub CoPilot is easy to use even for beginners and it supports the integration with CI/CD tools."
"I can upload code snippets or class files and ask for solutions to improve them, which works well. It's a great productivity tool that saves me time searching websites. While there are alternatives like ChatGPT and other AI tools, the advantage of the tool is that it is built into the IDE."
"Copilot enhanced our productivity through its AI capabilities."

Room for Improvement

"They could simplify the API integrations and allow us to automate certain tasks using our own server without just logging into the web page."
"One drawback is that the solution sometimes suggests unwanted code, especially if I accidentally press the tab. This doesn't happen often. Sometimes it seems to understand my code, but other times it doesn't. This inconsistency is confusing."
"Sometimes, if it is a bigger piece of code, it breaks in between."

Pricing

"Each user needs their license, whether it's a big team or a small team."
"GitHub Copilot is a paid service, costing approximately $6 per month. There might be a free trial available."
"The product has a tiered pricing model that starts with a free version for individual developers but requires a separate license fee for enterprise use."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
