Move your team from GitHub Copilot to Qodo.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Qodo — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in GitHub Copilot is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
This migration is one Qodo itself points to: Qodo's docs state it is deprecating its code-generation features — including autocomplete and chat-based code generation — and is refocusing the IDE plugin on local code review and governance, so generation needs should move to a dedicated assistant such as GitHub Copilot. A team on Copilot can drop reliance on Qodo Gen's autocomplete/chat/Agent Mode entirely. Install the Copilot extension in the same editor (VS Code, Visual Studio, or a JetBrains IDE) and sign in. Map the surfaces directly: Qodo Gen inline autocomplete -> Copilot ghost-text inline completion (press Tab to accept); Qodo Gen chat-based code generation -> Copilot Chat (Ask mode) for generate/explain; Qodo Gen multi-file edits / Agent Mode -> Copilot Edit mode and Agent mode from the Ask/Edit/Agent dropdown. You can keep the Qodo IDE plugin installed purely for its local code-review workflow while letting Copilot own generation. Keep Copilot; stop using Qodo for code generation.
- Warning: Nothing migrates automatically — there is no project or settings export from Qodo Gen. Re-create any Qodo Modes/Workflows or rules ('.toml' agents) as Copilot custom instructions ('.github/copilot-instructions.md', path-scoped '*.instructions.md', and reusable '*.prompt.md') so generation keeps your conventions.
- Warning: Editor coverage is not identical: Copilot inline completion is available across VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Neovim/Vim, Xcode, and Eclipse, but Copilot Chat is limited to a subset (VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Eclipse, Xcode). Confirm your team's editor has the Copilot surface (chat vs completion) they relied on in Qodo before cutting over.
- Warning: Don't bank on Qodo Gen autocomplete sticking around as a fallback during the move — it is on a deprecation path; treat the cutover as one-directional and validate Copilot completion quality in your stack first.
- Warning: Free-tier Copilot caps completions (2,000/month) and chat (~50 messages/month); unlimited completions and higher chat need a paid plan. Verify the team's Copilot plan covers expected volume so you are not trading a Qodo credit cap for a Copilot Free cap.
Qodo Merge and Copilot code review do the same job: an AI reviewer that runs on a pull request and posts inline comments plus one-click suggested fixes. A team already paying for GitHub Copilot can retire the Qodo Merge git integration and review PRs with Copilot instead. On github.com, add Copilot as a reviewer (Reviewers gear on the PR) for a manual pass, or turn on automatic review under repository/org settings so Copilot reviews each PR on open / ready-for-review / new commit — this replaces Qodo Merge's auto-review-on-open and its '/review' comment trigger. Re-create Qodo's standards as Copilot input: move any Qodo Rules / compliance files into '.github/copilot-instructions.md' (and path-scoped '.github/instructions/*.instructions.md') so Copilot's findings stay organization-aware. Then remove the Qodo Merge app from the GitHub org so it stops commenting. Keep Copilot; cut Qodo.
- Warning: Qodo Merge runs a multi-agent review (parallel bug / security / quality / test-coverage agents) informed by the cross-repo Context Engine; Copilot code review reasons mainly over the PR diff and the single repo, so deep cross-service or multi-repo findings Qodo surfaced may be missed — do not assume one-for-one finding parity, especially on large estates.
- Warning: Copilot code review is in-IDE only for licensed users (VS Code / Visual Studio); without a Copilot license, review is available on github.com and GitHub Mobile but not in the editor. Several Copilot code-review tools are in public preview and subject to change.
- Warning: Billing model differs: Qodo meters monthly credits and caps PRs/user (e.g. 20 PRs/user/mo on Teams), while Copilot code review as of 2026-06-01 is metered in GitHub AI Credits by token usage on usage-based plans (the older fixed per-run premium-request multiplier applies only to the legacy annual request-based-billing cohort) — re-estimate the per-PR run-rate before cancelling Qodo.
