Microsoft Copilot is now injecting ads into pull requests on GitHub

It was inevitable. After three years in the ad-free "honeymoon" phase, ads are slowly creeping into generative AI products, including Copilot.

"Logic issue" 😜

As a result, a third-party link was mistakenly displayed in a way that could be interpreted as a promotion. Our goal was to share novel ways to use Copilot coding agent, and in this case, we highlighted our integration with Raycast as part of a broader set of product tips, but this was surfaced more frequently than intended alongside other feature suggestions. We have removed Copilot agent tips from all pull requests moving forward. We appreciate the community flagging this and apologize for the error.
