Microsoft has introduced a new feature for GitHub Copilot, their AI-powered code-writing assistant. The Copilot Chat feature now supports image input in the chatbox, allowing users to paste images from their clipboard or upload image files in PNG, JPG, or GIF formats to help the vision model better understand the image context in conjunction with prompt commands (the model being GTP-4o).
An example showcased by Microsoft is providing an image of the game breakout to Copilot and letting it generate code to create a similar game, or even asking Copilot about coding solutions for error messages depicted in images.
This feature is now available for use in Visual Studio 17.13 Preview.
TLDR: Microsoft enhances GitHub Copilot with Copilot Chat supporting image input for improved code generation capabilities.
