GitHub Copilot Gets Agentic Memory in Public Preview
New memory feature lets Copilot learn and retain repository details across sessions, with automatic 28-day expiration.
GitHub has announced that Copilot memory is now available in public preview for all paid GitHub Copilot plans. This new capability enables Copilot to learn and retain useful details about repositories, fundamentally changing how developers interact with their AI coding assistant.
Persistent Context Across Sessions
Copilot memory allows the AI to remember repository-specific details across different features and sessions. What the coding agent learns can help code review, and insights gathered during one task carry over to future interactions. This creates a more personalized and efficient development experience.
Automatic Expiration
To prevent stale information from affecting suggestions, memories automatically expire after 28 days. This balance ensures Copilot stays current with evolving codebases while maintaining useful context about stable architectural decisions and coding patterns.
Enabling Memory
Individual users on Copilot Pro or Pro+ can enable Copilot memory in their personal Copilot settings. For organizations and enterprises, administrators can enable the feature through policy settings, giving teams control over how AI memory is used across their development workflows.
Cross-Feature Integration
The memory system is shared across Copilot features, creating a unified understanding of each repository. This means context learned during code completion can inform pull request reviews, and patterns identified during debugging can influence future suggestions.
