Because AI hasn't quite been infused into every single Microsoft product and service yet, the company today announced a new AI chat bot template for its Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.

A new wave of chat bots like ChatGPT use artificial intelligence that could reinvent or even replace the traditional internet search engine.

Copilot Chat, a feature of GitHub's gen AI coding tool Copilot that lets devs ask natural language questions about code, is now generally available.

Microsoft has released the source code for the GitHub Copilot Chat extension for VS Code under the MIT license.

VS Code has barely been released and can already handle OpenAI's latest language model GPT-5. It should bring advantages in reasoning, programming and chat.
