No, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %} are not covered by {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}’s indemnity policy. However, this exclusion applies only to issues that arise within extension chat threads.

This article helps you compare the available models, understand the strengths of each model, and choose the model that best fits your task. For guidance across different models using real-world tasks, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/ai-models/comparing-ai-models-using-different-tasks).

* Completing code snippets, variable names, and functions as you write them

* Generating repetitive code

* If you are using {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_dotcom_short %}, provide specific repositories, files, symbols, and more as context. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/asking-github-copilot-questions-in-githubcom).

* If you are using {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} in your IDE, use keywords to focus {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} on a specific task or piece of context. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/asking-github-copilot-questions-in-your-ide#using-keywords-in-your-prompt).

* **Rewrite your prompts to generate different responses.** If {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} is not providing a helpful response, try rephrasing your prompt, or even breaking your request down into multiple smaller prompts.

* **Provide feedback to improve future suggestions.** You can provide feedback in many ways:

* For individual responses in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %}, click the thumbs up or thumbs down icons next to the response.

* For {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} in your IDE, see [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/using-github-copilot/asking-github-copilot-questions-in-your-ide#sharing-feedback) for instructions specific to your environment.

## Changing the AI model

* {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} can create issues to help track your ideas.

* {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} can help you brainstorm and identify the best technologies for your project.

* **Code creation**:

* {% data variables.copilot.next_edit_suggestions_caps %} ({% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}) predicts the next edit you are likely to make and suggests a completion for it.

* {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} can answer questions and offer suggestions in a conversational environment.

* You can assign {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} to an open issue and it will automatically raise a pull request to address the necessary changes.

During the creation phase, you'll write and refine the code for your application. This is where you can bring the project to life by implementing features, fixing bugs, and iterating on the codebase.

With **{% data variables.copilot.next_edit_suggestions %}** ({% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}), {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} predicts related edits based on the changes you’re actively making. For example, if you rename a variable or update a function’s parameters, it suggests corresponding updates throughout your code. This helps maintain consistency and reduces the chance of errors.

{% data reusables.copilot.copilot-extensions.copilot-extensions-intro %}

You can get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extensions_short %} in one of two ways:

* Build your own {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_extension_short %}. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/building-copilot-extensions/about-building-copilot-extensions).

This guide assumes that you'll use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}. To get set up, see [Set up Copilot in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/setup-simplified) in the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} documentation.

1. In {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %}, open your project.

1. Create a folder in the root directory called `.vscode`.

```

Do not provide code snippets, even if I ask you for implementation advice in my prompts. Teach me all the basic coding concepts in your answers. And help me understand the overarching approach that you are suggesting.

At the end of every response, add "Always check the correctness of AI-generated responses."

```

You can enable or disable {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} from within {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}.
