GitHub Copilot April Update: AI Search, Chat History, BYOK

GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code just got a major upgrade with its April releases. The AI assistant can now search by meaning across all your code and even run "grep-style" queries on GitHub repositories. Here's the thing: There's a new experimental feature called "/chronicle" that lets you search your own chat history. This means you can easily recall past work, files you touched, and even pull requests you referenced. What's interesting is that these updates also reduce token usage, making Copilot more efficient. For teams, Copilot Business and Enterprise now support "bring-your-own-key." This lets users connect their preferred AI model providers directly within VS Code. Agents themselves are smarter, too, gaining inline diffs in chat and the ability to read and write to open terminals. The bottom line: These enhancements make Copilot a more powerful and personalized coding companion for developers.
