GitHub named a Leader in the Gartner first-ever Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants

The vision behind GitHub Copilot is simple: to enhance the innate human creativity of every developer through generative AI. Our goal was never to build technology for technology’s sake, but to increase the happiness and productivity of every developer by keeping them in flow longer, helping them progress faster, and lowering the overall barrier to entry. With millions of developers and over 77,000 organizations using Copilot, we feel like we’re rapidly moving toward that goal and realizing our vision.

Today, GitHub was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants.

As part of the report, Gartner evaluated 12 AI code assistant vendors based on their ability to execute and the completeness of their vision. GitHub achieved the highest ability to execute and the rightmost ranking in terms of the completeness of its vision.

“Leaders are successfully executing on their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow,” says Gartner. We see this as a testament to the hard work of our teams, partners, customers and the more than 100 million developers who use and improve our platform every day.

Industry-leading innovations

• GitHub Copilot Enterprise provides developers with the institutional knowledge of organizations and integrates Copilot into the entire software development cycle.
• GitHub Copilot Workspace redefines the developer environment by introducing an AI-native experience where any developer can go from idea to code to software in natural language.
• GitHub Copilot Extensions opens up unlimited possibilities with an ecosystem of partners that enables developers to build and deploy in the cloud with their favorite tools and services.
• Copilot Autofix in GitHub’s Advanced Security makes remediation possible and helps developers and security teams keep new vulnerabilities out of the code and work through their backlog of security debt.

Priorities for the future

This is just the beginning. Through our collaboration with customers, partners and developers, the magic of Copilot will be brought to an even wider audience. We envision a world where novice, hobbyist and professional developers alike can use the magic of Copilot to channel their creativity into building software. We believe this accessibility will unlock a world of a billion developers collaborating worldwide as our CEO Thomas Dohmke announced earlier this year.

Let’s continue building here.
