GitHub Copilot Business - AI Code Assistants Tool

Overview

GitHub Copilot Business is the enterprise-grade edition of GitHub Copilot, designed to bring AI-assisted code completion, generation, and in-context intelligence to development teams while giving organizations administrative and governance controls. It extends Copilot’s in-IDE suggestions (for editors such as Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs), GitHub UI integrations, and CLI capabilities with organization-level management, single sign-on, and provisioning so teams can scale adoption across projects and repos. According to GitHub’s Copilot Business page, the offering targets modern engineering organizations that need predictable management, centralized billing, and enterprise security controls. Beyond individual productivity gains, Copilot Business emphasizes governance: administrators can manage seats, configure access via SAML/SSO and SCIM, review usage and audit logs, and apply policies around data handling and code privacy. GitHub publishes documentation and release notes for feature updates; for the latest technical specifications, supported platforms, and any recent announcements, consult the official Copilot Business documentation and the GitHub product page.
