I heard they put copilot behind a paywall. Does the free version still hold up?
There was a free version?
I've been paying for it for a few months now - it makes some stupid suggestions occasionally and you definitely have to check everything, but can hugely increase productivity.
I use vscode as my notepad, so whenever I need to make a list or write something, it will automatically give suggestions that I can choose to include. Has been useful for finding new programs, products and services as well.
Note it will complain if you directly ask it a non coding related question, however.
Copilot was free during the beta
I use the payed version, it's about 10usd a month I believe I don't know if there is a free version still
