The system detects team standards from prompts, stores them in personal files or version-controlled repositories, and uses code citations verified in real-time. Available in public preview for paid plans, the feature can be scoped to individual repositories with automatic 28-day expiration. Early testing shows a 7% increase in pull request merge rates and 2% improvement in code review feedback. ## Content GitHub Copilot has unveiled a new memory feature in Visual Studio, enhancing its capability by automatically learning and documenting coding preferences and project guidelines. This innovative addition is designed to maintain code consistency, streamline onboarding, and reduce time spent on addressing code review nits by making team standards and best practices readily accessible. The memory system intelligently detects team preferences from prompts and provides confirmation nudges before saving changes. Users have the option to organize these memories in personal files or within version-controlled repository instructions, ensuring that team knowledge is well-maintained and easily shareable. Moreover, the agentic memory system allows AI agents to store and share knowledge across development workflows, complete with code citations verified in real-time to accommodate code evolution. The feature, which is available in public preview for all paid plans, enables Copilot to capture repository-specific insights, enhancing assistance quality with each use. Individual users can opt-in via personal settings, and organizations have control over it through policy settings. Additionally, the system securely scopes memories to individual repositories, with the capability for repository owners to review and delete these stored memories. These insights naturally expire after a 28-day period. Initial A/B testing of this memory feature has shown promising results, with a 7% increase in pull request merge rates and a 2% rise in positive feedback during code reviews. This thoughtful enhancement ensures an ever-improving experience by leveraging learned patterns like API version synchronizations, making it a valuable tool for developers. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Copilot Memory in VS Code: Your AI assistant just got smarter](https://daily.dev/posts/copilot-memory-in-vs-code-your-ai-assistant-just-got-smarter-ppujf8q6c) · The Art of Simplicity · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Copilot Memory now on by default for Pro and Pro\+ users in public preview](https://daily.dev/posts/copilot-memory-now-on-by-default-for-pro-and-pro-users-in-public-preview-9xuxtppom) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#code-review](https://daily.dev/tags/code-review), [#devtools](https://daily.dev/tags/devtools), [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#visual-studio](https://daily.dev/tags/visual-studio) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/github-copilot-introduces-intelligent-memory-system-in-visual-studio-ncmonsqs3) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"GitHub Copilot Introduces Intelligent Memory System in Visual Studio","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-copilot-introduces-intelligent-memory-system-in-visual-studio-ncmonsqs3","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-copilot-introduces-intelligent-memory-system-in-visual-studio-ncmonsqs3"},"datePublished":"2026-01-15T22:27:44.056Z","dateModified":"2026-03-15T05:30:48.967Z","description":"GitHub Copilot now features an intelligent memory system in Visual Studio that automatically learns coding preferences and project guidelines.
