Jakarta, Indonesia – GoTo Group, has announced that it has recently collaborated with Microsoft Indonesia to enhance engineering productivity across the organisation. 

This strategic partnership, in particular, has enabled the use of GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered developer tool designed to improve the efficiency and enjoyment of engineers in daily coding. The said approach provides AI-driven real-time code recommendations, chat-based assistance within the IDE, and clear, conversational breakdowns of complex programming concepts.

Within the first month of its adoption, the solution has already made significant improvements with it being used to save time. Beyond this benefit, an early code acceptance rate of 30% amongst GoTo’s engineers was also evident, indicating 30% of code suggestions made by GitHub Copilot are also accepted or used by GoTo engineers. 

Hans Patuwo, chief operating officer at GoTo, said, “Since June 2024, almost a thousand GoTo’s engineers have adopted GitHub Copilot, with full rollout expected by mid-October 2024. The adoption of this AI-powered coding assistant has enabled our engineers to enhance code quality and to accomplish more in less time. GoTo engineers have reported significant time savings averaging over seven hours per week, allowing them to innovate with greater speed and to bring more value to our users.”

Nayana Hodi, engineering manager at GoTo, then stated, “GitHub Copilot has significantly reduced syntax errors and provided helpful autocomplete features, eliminating repetitive tasks and making coding more efficient. This has allowed me to focus on the more complex elements in building great software.” 

Sharryn Napier, vice president, APAC at GitHub, also commented, “We are thrilled to empower GoTo with GitHub Copilot, equipping their engineers with AI across the software development lifecycle. GoTo has implemented an impressive evaluation strategy, collaborating directly with engineers to collect first-hand measurements that showcase real impact.”

Napier also added, “By quantifying the value of Copilot from the start, GoTo is building strong momentum for widespread adoption and accelerated learning across their engineering team. We’re excited to continue this journey, helping GoTo ship software ahead of the curve and accelerate the pace of innovation.”

Meanwhile, Andrew Boyd, general manager, digital natives and startups at Microsoft Asia, remarked, “We are proud to support GoTo in their mission to empower progress by offering technology infrastructure and solutions that enable everyone to thrive in the digital economy.”

“By integrating GitHub Copilot into their engineering processes, GoTo equips their teams with the tools to innovate faster, enhance productivity, and ultimately deliver greater user value,” continued Boyd.

“Trust and technology go hand in hand, and this collaboration underscores our shared commitment to harnessing AI technology, creating meaningful opportunities for all Indonesians, and accelerating an inclusive digital transformation agenda as part of Microsoft’s Empowering Indonesia initiative,” he concluded.
