On a scale of one to ten, I rate GitHub Copilot around seven to eight. GitHub should offer more competitive pricing and could benefit from incorporating functionalities like providing code analysis for entire zip folders to improve user experience.
I would initially rate it nine out of ten based on what I know and the small experience I have had. For it to be ten out of ten, it needs more advancements in the AI part, though it is already strong. Future updates are anticipated. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
CoPilot is supporting and they can improve the scope. They should allow for more involvement from beginners to explore features within the GitHub environment. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
It's a helpful tool, but you need strong programming knowledge to use it effectively. If you don't understand Java or your objectives, GitHub Copilot might give wrong answers. It is good at what it's designed for when handling complex coding scenarios or languages. However, there are limitations. The main issue is similar to other AI agents - requiring skilful prompting to get relevant answers. If GitHub Copilot had access to the entire codebase we're working on, it could provide more relevant and productive outcomes. But I'm not sure how security and privacy aspects would be handled in that situation. The tool tends to give atomic answers rather than addressing very complex, multi-class-spanning questions. If it had access to more context, it might be able to provide better answers for complex scenarios involving multiple classes or large code structures. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. I can recommend it, given it's affordable, because there are many free alternatives. They may need to introduce a community edition or similar option to compete and remain relevant.
I would recommend it because it's part of the Microsoft package, it's easy to use, and I haven't found any of the answers to be outrageous. Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten because I haven't used it enough.
The AI integration in the product is good. If you are new to coding and you want to save some time by not writing a course from scratch, then you can definitely use GitHub CoPilot, as it saves a lot of time in the initial stages of development but not in the more advanced production-ready stages. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
We are still in the planning phase. We have attended some seminars by Microsoft to understand our needs better. Once we have a clear plan and strategy, we will discuss whether we need professional help. My advice for people who want to start using it is to understand how it works and to find uses for the platform. This means focusing on how to develop their processes, not traditionally, but by utilizing these AI tools. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

GitHub CoPilot improved my code efficiency by helping me save time. The tool gives me ready-made codes, which I review and then implement. Speaking about GitHub CoPilot's ability in terms of context and syntax suggestions, the tool is helpful. The product is easy to integrate. I recommend the product to developers who plan to use it. It is not a free tool forever, meaning it is only free for a month. I rate the tool a six to seven out of ten.
Developers, testers, front-end, back-end, any developer can use it. It's really beneficial for them. On the other hand, testers can also explore test cases with Copilot. It'll help them, too. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

It's essential to perceive it as a supplementary tool, not the primary driver. Caution should be exercised in blindly accepting suggestions to avoid unexpected challenges. The time invested in reviewing suggestions is crucial, and the tool's effectiveness depends on the user's domain knowledge. While it can be ideal for bridging domain and technical aspects for those with expertise, users with less experience may overlook potential issues, necessitating careful consideration. Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.
Before using GitHub CoPilot, you need to consider what you are working on so that you don't miss what you are trying to achieve. When you are working on professional projects or very important projects for which, it may not be a good idea to use GitHub CoPilot. You should have good knowledge of what you are doing. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
