Hi @adamklepacz , Thanks for asking such a great question :) The system behavior of Copilot Chat can be broken down into several key steps. Input processingThe input prompt from the user is pre-processed by the Copilot Chat system and sent to a large language model to get a response based on the context and prompt. User input can take the form of code snippets or plain language. The system is only intended to respond to coding-related questions. Language model analysisThe pre-processed prompt is then passed through the Copilot Chat language model, which is a neural network that has been trained on a large corpus of text data. The language model analyzes the input prompt and generates a response based on its understanding of the syntax and semantics of the input. Response generationThe language model generates a response based on its analysis of the input prompt. This response can take the form of generated code, code suggestions, or explanations of existing code. Output formattingThe response generated by Copilot Chat is formatted and presented to the user in a way that is easy to read and understand. This may include syntax highlighting, indentation, and other formatting features. Overall, the system behavior of Copilot Chat is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing you to ask coding-related questions and complete coding tasks quickly and easily. |

And regarding this one: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/56396 You closed this as a duplicate, but I didn't get the answer. Is Copilot Chat using GPT-4 language models or does is use GPT-3.5 ? or does it use a custom GPT fine-tuned model? |

Why is the question being ignored? I'm assuming this is so they have a distinct feature for paying OpenAI ChatGPT customers to keep it relevant from a business perspective. |

So I managed to create a web searching tool using OpenAI Api which uses GPT-3 model for processing raw HTML data and give real-time results like Copilot. I managed to do it using Selinium to search google and parse its content and use the relatable data to extract results from it. If it fails to get results from google html, then try scrapping the links one by one provided in the google search. The results goes through openAI api twice once to extract the answer and any related answer in the provided HTML. The second time to check if it found any answer so you can feed more data to it. Sending raw data this way will help you save a lot of tokens. I tried searching for all kind of real time data like live scores, weather information, current news, latest movies, songs and much more, and it works as intended. It gives you whatever you need without using any external APIs. Just play with the html data and see how you can extract reliable information from it and build something like that and it will work. If you want your results from an API then use tools like SERAPI and bing search which are more expensive to use. good luck! |

When I add a link as a reference it just answers with standard "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but as an AI developed by OpenAI, I don't have the ability to browse the internet or access external databases or websites in real-time. My responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data." That's pretty useless. |

Question
Body
Hello GitHub Community,
I have a question regarding the capabilities of GitHub's Copilot Chat. It's quite an interesting feature that adds a more interactive dimension to the coding process.
Given the versatility of AI language models, I was wondering if Copilot Chat has the same capability as ChatGPT (GPT-4) to access and retrieve real-time information from the web? I understand that language models like GPT-4, though they don't have the ability to access or browse the internet in real-time, they can generate responses based on a vast dataset they were trained on, giving the illusion of internet browsing.
Could anyone clarify whether Copilot Chat employs a similar mechanism? Can I paste a link to a framework documentation and Copilot Chat for explanation of a certain term?
I look forward to learning more about this topic, and any references or links to resources that could shed more light on this would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Best Regards,
Adam
