GitHub’s research lab. The team that built Copilot before it was a product. Current work includes agentic workflows, LLM-powered code navigation, and GitHub Spark. Past projects that shipped: Copilot, Monaspace (code font family), Copilot for Pull Requests. About 13 people — principal researchers and research engineers. Worth following to see what GitHub is thinking about before it shows up in the product.
