GitHub Copilot Voice ("Hey, GitHub")
2022 - 2024, 1 year old
A voice-controlled coding assistant that let developers dictate code and editor commands to Copilot.
Announced in November 2022 as a technical preview called "Hey, GitHub," the voice tool targeted developers who had difficulty using a keyboard. It was rebranded Copilot Voice when Copilot Chat launched. In early 2024 GitHub emailed preview users that the project would not become a product and shut down the service on April 3, 2024. Microsoft folded some of the speech capabilities into the VS Code Speech extension, which lets developers trigger Copilot Chat by saying "Hey, Code." Accessibility advocates noted that no equivalent first-party replacement shipped alongside the shutdown.
