## AI overview

The author reviews a month of using GitHub Copilot, describing it as an IDE-based coding assistant that generates fast suggestions from function names, docstrings, control-flow statements, and short cues. The article highlights its ability to complete larger code patterns, document functions, and generate example usage, while noting that its output may lack nuance and often needs touchups.

## Source excerpt

I've been trialling Github Copilot for some weeks now, and so far I've been very impressed. It's clear to me that this and similar tools will become a permanent part of many programmers' toolkits (at least until the AI gets so clever that it obviates our jobs completely).
