A new feature called Copilot dreaming, in public preview, reflects on past sessions to curate memories and propose updates to skills and instructions via pull requests. GitHub code search now lets Copilot search across repositories, including semantic search for code by behavior rather than file name. During the memory public preview, 93% of reviewed Copilot CLI sessions using memory showed better adherence to developer preferences, and 42% showed more efficient workflows attributed to the memories included in the session context. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is GitHub Copilot Memory and is it generally available? GitHub Copilot Memory is generally available on paid Copilot plans. It lets Copilot remember personal preferences and repository conventions across sessions and clients, including the Copilot app, Copilot CLI, VS Code, Copilot cloud agent, Copilot code review, Slack, Teams, and GitHub Mobile. Memories are created and curated autonomously by Copilot sessions as they learn from interactions. _Developers evaluating AI coding assistants can track rollouts like Copilot Memory on daily.dev._ ### What is Copilot dreaming in GitHub Copilot? Copilot dreaming is a public preview feature that reflects on past agent sessions to improve future ones. It includes personal memory curation, repository customization that proposes updates to skills and custom instructions via pull requests, and code review customization that turns accepted review feedback into guidance. Dreaming is opt-in and dream runs consume AI credits. _Teams weighing new Copilot features can keep up with changes like dreaming on daily.dev._ ### How does GitHub code search help Copilot find code across multiple repositories? GitHub code search lets Copilot find relevant code, configuration, schemas, and documentation across related repositories and dependencies without a local clone. It supports exact text and symbol search, regular expression pattern matching, and semantic search that finds code by behavior, such as retry logic for failed payments, even without knowing the file or function name. _Developers tracing bugs across services can follow tools like cross-repo code search on daily.dev._ ## 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 - [Copilot Memory early access for Pro and Pro\+](https://daily.dev/posts/copilot-memory-early-access-for-pro-and-pro--x3t9e6mui) · GitHub Changelog · 66 upvotes · 1 comments - [VS Code Memory Tool: Local Memory meets GitHub Copilot Memory](https://daily.dev/posts/vs-code-memory-tool-local-memory-meets-github-copilot-memory-8mlrpuaq4) · The Art of Simplicity · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#productivity](https://daily.dev/tags/productivity) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/github-intelligence-puts-your-code-context-and-history-to-work-sef14yitw) ```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 intelligence puts your code, context, and history to work","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-intelligence-puts-your-code-context-and-history-to-work-sef14yitw","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-intelligence-puts-your-code-context-and-history-to-work-sef14yitw"},"datePublished":"2026-10-28T16:16:53.949Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T16:36:13.401Z","description":"GitHub Copilot Memory is now generally available on paid Copilot plans, letting Copilot remember personal preferences and repository conventions across...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/5e989af4e1d8719eb8e4ba3acee590f9?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/5e989af4e1d8719eb8e4ba3acee590f9?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"GitHub Changelog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"GitHub Changelog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/15004b7835da4d89b02b115871f0f6dc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-intelligence-puts-your-code-context-and-history-to-work-sef14yitw","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,github,productivity","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"GitHub Changelog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"GitHub intelligence puts your code, context, and history to work"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-intelligence-puts-your-code-context-and-history-to-work-sef14yitw#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is GitHub Copilot Memory and is it generally available?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"GitHub Copilot Memory is generally available on paid Copilot plans.
