# Awesome Copilot > A VS Code extension that provides additional GitHub Copilot chat participants and tools for enhanced AI-assisted development. Awesome Copilot is a Visual Studio Code extension created by Tim Heuer that extends GitHub Copilot's capabilities by adding custom chat participants and tools. This extension enhances the AI-assisted development experience within VS Code by providing additional functionality beyond the standard Copilot features. The extension integrates seamlessly with GitHub Copilot Chat, allowing developers to access specialized AI assistants and tools directly within their development environment. It leverages the Copilot extensibility model to deliver enhanced productivity features for developers working in VS Code. - **Custom Chat Participants**: Adds specialized chat participants to GitHub Copilot Chat, enabling more targeted AI assistance for specific development tasks and workflows. - **Extended Tool Support**: Provides additional tools that integrate with Copilot's chat interface, expanding the range of AI-powered capabilities available to developers. - **VS Code Integration**: Built specifically for Visual Studio Code, ensuring tight integration with the editor's features and workflows. - **GitHub Copilot Enhancement**: Works alongside existing GitHub Copilot functionality to provide complementary features rather than replacing core capabilities.
