Frequently Asked Questions

Is the code Copilot generates safe to use commercially?

GitHub offers IP indemnification on the Business and Enterprise plans, meaning they will defend you if code suggestions lead to IP claims. The Individual plan does not include this protection.

Does Copilot work with my programming language?

Copilot supports virtually all programming languages. It is strongest in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Ruby, and Java — the languages with the most training data.

Should non-technical founders care about Copilot?

If you have developers on your team, Copilot can increase their productivity by 30-55% according to GitHub's studies. It is one of the highest-ROI AI tools for engineering teams.
