GitHub Copilot

IDE-native AI assistant with Agent mode and multi-model support (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, o3).

When to use it

• You already use VS Code or GitHub's ecosystem and want tight integration.

• You want Agent mode for context-aware, multi-edit workflows.

• You prefer switching models (Claude, GPT-4o, o3) inside one tool.

Hands-on

• Prerequisites — GitHub subscription with Copilot; VS Code (or supported IDE).

• Install — github.com/copilot. Enable Agent mode in settings.

• Runnable example — Build the same small API as in Cursor/Windsurf/Continue recipes (see Quick product recipe).

Telegram

Copilot does not provide a Telegram gateway. For Telegram + AI, use OpenClaw or the custom bot (playgrounds/telegram-ai-bot/).

Quick product recipe

Same small API built with Copilot Agent; compare workflow (~15 min).

1. Open a new folder or this repo in VS Code with Copilot enabled.
2. Use Copilot Agent to create a minimal HTTP API (e.g. one GET endpoint returning { hello: 'world' }) and a README with run instructions.
3. Run and verify. Compare the workflow (prompts, edits, multi-file behavior) with Cursor, Windsurf, or Continue if you've tried those.

No separate playground in this repo; the "playground" is any folder and the agent-generated API.
