If it isn't enabled for your workspace, you have the Copilot Dashboard, which is in Public Beta. See [Copilot Dashboard (Public Beta)](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact/github-copilot.md#copilot-dashboard-public-beta). When you connect GitHub Copilot to Cortex, the [AI Dashboard](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact) shows Copilot adoption across your engineering teams and how that adoption relates to delivery. This page covers what you need to connect Copilot and which parts of the dashboard use Copilot data. ## Prerequisites Before getting started: * You must have the [GitHub integration](https://docs.cortex.io/ingesting-data-into-cortex/integrations/github.md) configured. See instructions below for each integration method: * Cortex GitHub app * If configured before October 14, 2025, you must [re-authorize your Cortex GitHub app](https://support.getcortexapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/41736643663387-Why-is-Cortex-requesting-that-I-re-authorize-the-GitHub-app-for-Copilot-metric-permissions) to accept two new permissions. * Custom GitHub App * Add the following permission to your custom GitHub App: `admin:org read` * Personal Access Token * Add the following permission to your PAT: `admin:org read` > [!NOTE] > > Copilot usage history can't be backfilled. The dashboard populates over time as usage data is collected. ## What GitHub Copilot data appears in the dashboard The following data appears on the **Impact** and **Adoption** tabs: * **Impact tab** - The [Regular AI users vs No AI](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact#regular-ai-users-vs-no-ai) chart compares a delivery metric between developers in the **GitHub Copilot only** group (developers who used only GitHub Copilot on at least 25% of the days in each time window) and developers who don't use AI. Developers who regularly use both GitHub Copilot and Claude Code appear in the **Multiple AI tools** group. The [Adoption rate by team](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact#adoption-rate-by-team) chart plots each team's adoption rate against a delivery metric. Select **GitHub Copilot** in the AI tool dropdown to look at Copilot alone. * **Adoption tab** - The **Active AI Users** and **AI adoption rate** metrics include Copilot users, and the [AI adoption across users](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact#ai-adoption-across-users) and [Team-level AI adoption](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact#team-level-ai-adoption) charts show the **GitHub Copilot only** group. Cortex also creates an "AI Usage" user label for team members based on their recent Copilot activity. You can group any Eng Intelligence metric by this label in [Data Explorer](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/data-explorer). ## What isn't available with GitHub Copilot Cortex doesn't pull Copilot spend, tokens, or session activity yet, so these parts of the dashboard need Claude Code: * The **Spend** tab. * The **AI sessions**, **AI-created pull requests**, **AI-created commits**, **AI lines added**, and **AI lines removed** metrics on the **Adoption** tab. To add this data, see [Claude Code in the AI Dashboard](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact/claude-code.md). ## Copilot Dashboard (Public Beta) > [!NOTE] > > The Copilot Dashboard is available to all cloud customers as a Public Beta feature. You can provide us [feedback here](https://forms.gle/wW86fGy8Cq2weVte7). When the AI Dashboard is enabled for your workspace, it replaces the Copilot Dashboard. Users with the `View Eng Intelligence` permission can access the Copilot Dashboard. The Copilot Dashboard provides insight into Copilot adoption and engagement across your engineering teams, including visualizations for: * Impact by team AI adoption rate * Correlate team adoption rate to delivery and reliability metrics. Adoption rates are provided daily by comparing active users against Copilot seats. * Impact of Copilot users vs. non-Copilot users * Compare delivery and reliability side-by-side between users who leveraged AI tools within the last 7 days, and those who did not. Understand whether recent AI usage affects engineering performance. * AI adoption trends * View the overall trends for AI adoption across your organization. Use these insights to identify issues and [drive continuous improvement](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact#driving-continuous-improvement). ![One of the AI Impact charts shows merged PR metrics for AI users vs. non-AI users.](https://mintcdn.com/cortex-290c0c42/WsEW6MxYeKygvxWi/images/ai-users-mergedPRs-copilot.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=WsEW6MxYeKygvxWi\&q=85\&s=fbc2df3a789a706b0c55ad0b864c8fcc) ### Viewing the Copilot Dashboard Navigate to [**Eng Intelligence > Dashboards**](https://app.getcortexapp.com/admin/eng-intelligence/dashboards) to see the full list of Cortex-built and [Custom Dashboards](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/custom) available in your workspace. Click the **Copilot Dashboard**. This Dashboard contains multiple charts that you can filter and compare with key engineering metrics: > [accordion] Impact by team AI adoption rate > > View the impact that a team's AI adoption rate has on their cycle time, deployment frequency, incident frequency, merged PRs, PR size, time to resolution, and work items completed. > > Hover over the data in the graph to see more information about a team and its metrics: > > ![Hover over the Team AI adoption rate chart to learn more about a metric point.](https://mintcdn.com/cortex-290c0c42/K6GZjp5BfPGK-s1-/images/team-ai-adoption-chart.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=K6GZjp5BfPGK-s1-\&q=85\&s=cfbf0764f5a4e60c25b0296fb151b582) > > Eng Intelligence compares active users against Copilot seats once daily. > [accordion] Copilot users vs. Non-Copilot users > > See the impact that using AI, or not using AI, has on cycle time, merged PRs, PR size, time to resolution, and work items completed. Cortex automatically creates an "AI Usage" user label that is attached to any team member who was active in Copilot within the last 7 days. > > Hover over the data in the graph to see more information about the metrics: > > ![Hover over the chart to learn more about a metric point.](https://mintcdn.com/cortex-290c0c42/WsEW6MxYeKygvxWi/images/ai-user-impact-chart.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=WsEW6MxYeKygvxWi\&q=85\&s=525e30e163492ddad040f15d6eeba807) > [accordion] Copilot adoption over time > > View your overall Copilot adoption metrics over time: > > ![See Copilot adoption metrics in the graph.](https://mintcdn.com/cortex-290c0c42/Z-yTwwLdih7PmvB6/images/copilot-adoption-graph.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Z-yTwwLdih7PmvB6\&q=85\&s=1d50405c74980c602bb2b29781aeeb35) ### Filtering and configuring the Copilot Dashboard #### Overlay a data point To overlay a data point, click the dropdown in the upper left corner of a chart: ![Click the dropdown in the upper left to choose a data point.](https://mintcdn.com/cortex-290c0c42/K6GZjp5BfPGK-s1-/images/select-metric-ai-charts.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=K6GZjp5BfPGK-s1-\&q=85\&s=3acb605872536a793b4b36ffe0d07f21) #### Filter the chart You can filter at two levels: * **Dashboard level** - Click **Filter** at the top of the dashboard to apply a filter across all charts at once. The Copilot dashboard supports **Domain** and **Team** as dashboard-level filters. * **Chart level** - Click **Filter** in the upper-right corner of an individual chart to apply filters for group, owner, repository, user label, and more. Chart-level filters override dashboard-level filters for that chart. ## Related topics - [AI Dashboard](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact.md) - [GitHub](https://docs.cortex.io/ingesting-data-into-cortex/integrations/github.md) - [Claude Code in the AI Dashboard](https://docs.cortex.io/improve/eng-intelligence/dashboards/ai-impact/claude-code.md)
