GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps you write code faster and with less work.

Per https://copilot.github.com:

GitHub Copilot is powered by Codex, the new AI system created by OpenAI. GitHub Copilot understands significantly more context than most code assistants. So, whether it's in a docstring, comment, function name, or the code itself, GitHub Copilot uses the context you've provided and synthesizes code to match. Together with OpenAI, GitHub Copilot is designed to get smarter at producing safe and effective code as developers use it.
