GitHub Copilot has announced the availability of extensions for other partners to integrate with, specifically supporting the GitHub Copilot Chat feature only. External technology companies like MongoDB, DataStax, Docker, Sentry, and Stripe can now connect to Copilot Chat to answer questions about their products directly. Developers can also inquire about issues from their IDE screen (VS Code or Visual Studio) without switching apps. An example presented by Microsoft is asking about Docker problems, such as how to set environment variables.
TLDR: GitHub Copilot now allows external technology companies to integrate with Copilot Chat for product-related inquiries, making developer interactions more seamless.
