Check out this two-part blog post from the Microsoft's Educator Developer Blog, written by Carlotta Castelluccio. Part 1 covers the basics of building your own AI co-pilot, using Microsoft's Bot Framework and Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS). You'll learn how to create a virtual assistant that can help you with tasks like scheduling and email management and explore the potential of AI in everyday life.

Dive deep into GitHub Copilot's autocompletion, customizable features, and advanced programming techniques.

We had MS reps give a demo of Copilot chat for our company recently. I was already using it for autocomplete but lemme tell ya, chat is something else!

If I want a refactoring or feature change, I can just swipe over the function or line of code that needs changing and tell chat to do it! The written function appears in the chat window so I can read it or copy it. That has been huge for small, ugly changes that are error-prone and I don't feel like making myself or looking up syntax for.
