# GitHub Copilot: The Future of AI-Powered Software Development
AI revolutionizes our life at work. One of the industries which undergoes the biggest transformation is software development.
Among the most useful AI assistants for developers is **GitHub Copilot**.
## GitHub Copilot: The Smart Programming Partner
GitHub Copilot is an AI-based coding tool that helps developers to write, understand, and improve code quickly.
It complements developers rather than replaces them, being a **smart partner in software development**.
## 🚀 From Coding to Solution Development
Traditionally, developers spend a lot of time writing the same code again and again, finding information in the documentation, debugging mistakes, and searching for examples.
With Copilot, the developer can formulate what he/she wants in plain language, and the AI suggests code, functions, queries, tests, documentation, etc.
For instance, a developer may type:
> "Create a function that calculates the average monthly sales and takes care of missing values."
And Copilot generates the code that the developer can review and integrate into his/her application.
The developer saves time not because of faster coding, but because he/she gets an opportunity to spend time on architecture, business requirements, user experience, and problem-solving.
