As a preview, the GitHub Copilot offers new functions for code reviews, especially for reviewing code from other contributors in software projects.
For reviews of pull requests, there are two new functions for the AI assistant: Code Summary and Smarter Reviews. The summaries summarize the changes to a pull request to make it easier for human reviewers to review the new code. The second function automatically searches for problems in the code that a human might overlook. More in-depth change suggestions work for the languages C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Markdown, Python, Ruby and TypeScript.

The review assistant starts both automatically with new pull requests and by manual call. In Visual Studio Code, developers mark passages so that they can be specifically checked before they are added to the project repository. Suggested changes can be opened in a separate workspace and added to comments.
Separate registration is required to take part in the preview. Detailed information can be found in the documentation.
