## Summary

GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered pair programming tool developed by Microsoft. It provides autocomplete-style suggestions as you code based on the context of the file you are working on and related files. It's not restricted by programming languages, as it can convert your code into a different programming language.

> Took a quick look at codegeex with my webstorm instance. Well, have to say it can't currently replace even codeium -- too slow. Github copilot is still unbeatable. Codeium is quite Ok too, but only "quite" )

> I don't want to switch for now. But I will do experiemnt on codeium again. I used it 2 months ago, it had credit limits, i removed extension. But I will install it again.

> I have been using codewhisperer for a while now. It has been a hit and miss. Not very reliable but still gets the job done.
