GitHub launched GitHub intelligence as a context and learning layer for agents. It includes Memory, now generally available on paid Copilot plans. Memory lets Copilot remember personal and repository preferences across sessions. Copilot can reuse guidance like pull request description formats. Repository memories capture test commands or review expectations. Copilot sessions autonomously generate and curate memories. Dreaming is now in public preview for continuous context improvement. It offers personal memory curation, repository customization, and code review customization. Dreaming can add, update, and remove memories and proposes changes via pull requests. Dreaming is opt-in and consumes AI credits. Code search helps Copilot find relevant code across repositories without local clones. It supports exact text, symbols, regex, and semantic search. Code search enables planning migrations, investigating bugs, and following standards across projects.
