Pair-Programming

GitHub Copilot Original represents the pioneering AI pair programmer that launched the AI coding revolution in June 2021. Built on OpenAI’s groundbreaking Codex model and developed through the strategic collaboration between GitHub and OpenAI, this tool transformed how millions of developers write code by introducing the concept of AI-powered pair programming directly within popular IDEs and code editors. As the first widely adopted AI coding assistant, Copilot Original set the standard for human-AI collaboration in software development and paved the way for the current generation of AI development tools.
