  2. Your AI pair programmer. With GitHub Copilot, get suggestions for whole lines or entire functions right inside your editor.
    Machine aided code completion are "AI code editors" that can help you write code. They are not new, but they are getting better. The idea is that you write a few lines of code and the editor will suggest the rest. This is not just about auto-completion, but about context recognition and style recognition. The big players are GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer. In addition to auto-completing your code, these tools can also explain code and have granular controls like "make this code more robust" or "generate tests for this function". GitHub Copilot also offers a ChatBot interface that will run in the context of the currently open project, thus giving your developers the power of a chat client in their code editor. This also means that generated code is automatically validated.
