ChatGPT is bringing its Deep Research service directly into GitHub’s developer ecosystem. This integration is beginning a beta test this week, with ChatGPT Plus, Pro and Team users the first to receive access over the coming days. Members of the Enterprise and Edu plans will get a chance to try it out “soon.” Users can grant the AI assistant access to select code repositories and ask questions about their contents that ChatGPT will answer with cited reports.
Programmers have been a notable audience for AI assistants. A tool like ChatGPT can quickly review code and see where you’ve left a bracket unclosed or explain why a function isn’t working, so looping the chatbot directly into GitHub could streamline the process. Plus, Microsoft owns GitHub and the company has made extensive investments into OpenAI.
When OpenAI initially announced Deep Research, the analysis-focused application of the AI chatbot required a Pro plan to use. In February, the company opened it up to all paying users of ChatGPT.
