🚀 Heads up, devs—GitHub Copilot just leveled up!

Copilot Extensions are now in public preview for GitHub Mobile and JetBrains IDEs! Whether you’re crushing code on the move or in your JetBrains zone, Copilot Extensions bring the tools you need directly into your workflow—no extra hassle, just power where you need it. 💥

Here’s what’s fresh: 🤌

• Code on the go: Use GitHub Mobile to query third-party tools or your private data with natural language—whether you're commuting or just taking a coffee break, Copilot’s got you covered.
• JetBrains magic: Extend Copilot’s capabilities inside your favorite JetBrains IDE for even smoother, smarter development. It’s like having a supercharged coding buddy right there in your editor.

How to join the fun:

• iOS fam: Download TestFlight and hop on the GitHub Mobile beta.
• Android squad: Become a beta tester on Google Play and grab the beta version of GitHub Mobile.
• JetBrains crew: Follow the setup steps in our docs to integrate Copilot Extensions into your IDE.

👀 But wait, here’s the kicker—you can build your own extensions! Want something custom for your team? Need a private tool in your Copilot? You can make that happen and even share it in the GitHub Marketplace. Check out the docs to get started.

Has anyone got this working in any JB IDE? Tried both stable and nightly, and restarted IDE, yet the @ shortcut doesn't seem to trigger any of the installed extensions. Autocomplete for the extension name doesn't show and the response (if I type in the name manually) doesn't look like coming from the extension. Works in web and GitHub Mobile on iOS though under same account

Same problem. Using recent version of GH copilot in intelij but @ not working

@Akash1134

Is there a sample/api details available for creating private extension for Jetbrains

[AndrewNikolin]

Feels like github doesn't care about JB extension at all. 3 stable releases and 7 nightly ones, since this announcement was written, yet functionality released here doesn't work. And in general, the extension isn't on par functionality-wise with extensions for other editors

We are unable to trigger @ in Jetbrains

Hi @AndrewNikolin @transformsen @rnavaneeth090902.

Apologies for the delayed access. We had to rollback the JetBrains release for maintenance. A fix is currently in progress.

I'll make sure to update this post in the meantime and once JetBrains support is available.
