GitHub Next argues AI's greatest value is enabling team collaboration, not multiplying individual productivity

“the greatest value doesn't come from multiplying me into more me. It comes from enabling groups of people to do more.”

Idan Gazit, head of GitHub Next (the team that created Copilot), argues that AI is shifting from a personal productivity tool toward enabling multiplayer, collaborative software development. He frames this as a durable theme: the move from agents that parallelize an individual to systems that amplify what groups can accomplish together. The talk sets up GitHub Next's exploration of realtime multiplayer and automation as the next frontier for developer tooling.
