This is about Microsoft Copilot – https://copilot.microsoft.com/ – not Github Copilot – https://github.com/features/copilot

There are a lot of “Copilot” extensions for VSCode, including Github Copilot, but none for Microsoft Copilot, AFAIK.

> It’s possibly confusing,

No, after Github Copilot being around for a while, Microsoft rebranding everything that is AI assistants “Copilot” (with “Microsoft” in some contexts, but often just bare) is confusing, especially since it follows lots of other projects adopting the X Copilot thing in between “Github Copilot” becoming popular and Microsoft introducing their new Copilot branding.
