š¤ The worldās best AI programming gets better

Explain the code. Source: Github
A week after Microsoft gave you an AI assistant for Office apps, Github is doing the same. With a new feature called Copilot X.
What started as a simple code autocomplete tool now can do SO MUCH MORE. Githubās vision changes programming.
The new copilot will...
explain highlighted code blocks
generate new functions based on a prompt
automatically create docs and code change requests.
Copilot X is stripping the mundane and painful parts of being a programmer away.
The stats from their V1 are insane. 74% of devs focus on more satisfying work, 88% feel more productive, and 96% are faster with repetitive tasks.
You canāt buy that kind of NPS.
We can't ignore Githubās distribution advantage. Microsoft is firing on all cylinders.

AI salivates as it looks at the gaming industry.
Gaming is famously digital asset-heavy. Its members are technical. And its leaders are desperate to squeeze efficiency out of anything they can.
Enter Unity. They power some of your favorite games like Pokemon Go, Cuphead, and Call of Duty mobile.
In short, they own mobile gaming.
Theyāre the simplest way to make a game, and they want to make it EVEN EASIER.
Using AI, of course.
Cue Unityās AI marketplace. They followed Googleās lead and announced a waitlist for it this week.
Dubbed āAI powered game developmentā, the idea is straightforward. Imagine any asset in your game, and generate it using AI.
The demo shows the dev commanding āshow two seconds of thunderā. That appears, instead of having to code it themselves.
Devs lives will improve. But gaming and creators go hand in hand. And creators don't like AI-generated content.
Who will win?
𤯠Opera is still a web browser, now with ChatGPT

Source: Opera
Opera might just be our new favorite browser.
That's because Opera announced AI features built right into the browser.
They also added ChatGPT. Of course.
First, the expected. You can use ChatGPT right in the browser as a sidebar. Once linked, you can highlight text on a page and feed it through the AI chatbots to do, well, whatever you want.
Hereās something a bit different. A feature called AI prompts. Use AI prompts to summarize an article, shorten it, or create a tweet from it. With the click of a button.
The best browser features start as extensions, and this feels like a hackathon project extension. Except itās baked right in to the browser.
Bravo, Opera.
We expect to see this next week for Microsoft Edge. And announced as a waitlist in 3-6 months for Google Chrome.
š AI tools, links, tips
Of course weāre covering this tomorrow.
We are adding support for plugins to ChatGPT ā extensions which integrate it with third-party services or allow it to access up-to-date information. Weāre starting small to study real-world use, impact, and safety and alignment challenges: openai.com/blog/chatgpt-pā¦
