In this edition of Community Spotlight, we’re highlighting some outstanding contributions from the Microsoft and GitHub communities. This time, we’re featuring Daniel Scott-Raynsford, Partner Technology Strategist at Microsoft New Zealand.

GitHub Copilot has revolutionised the way we interact with code, introducing a multi-modal experience that spans voice, chat, and multiple programming languages. But it’s not just about answering questions. With the proper context and well-defined constraints, Copilot becomes a creative and strategic partner, helping developers shape outcomes more intentionally.

At the forefront of this innovation, Daniel has been exploring powerful new use cases for Copilot, including:

• Custom Chat Modes
• MCP integration with GitHub Copilot
• A growing Asset Library of personas and structured prompts

Daniel’s latest videos highlight these capabilities in action:

• “Copilot Custom Chat Modes”: youtube.com/watch?v=klKXZsB7FSw
• “Infrastructure as Code with GitHub Copilot”: youtube.com/watch?v=32N9GvIndg8

Make sure to check out his content and see how you can learn, co-create, and make the most out of GitHub Copilot.
