GitHub Copilot Integration

Connecting GitHub Copilot lets Koalr pull official usage metrics from GitHub's Copilot API — giving you real adoption data, not just seat counts. See which teams and editors are getting value from AI assistance, and correlate Copilot usage with delivery cycle time.

What Koalr syncs

• Seat utilization — active seats vs. purchased seats; seats unused in the last 30 days
• Acceptance rate — percentage of Copilot suggestions accepted by developers
• Lines of code accepted — total accepted AI-generated lines per day (30-day trend)
• Estimated hours saved — Koalr's estimate based on accepted suggestions × average lines/hour baseline
• Editor breakdown — which editors (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, etc.) drive the most Copilot usage
• PR impact — correlation between Copilot usage and PR cycle time for each developer
• Per-member adoption — per-developer activity (Admin view)

Prerequisites

• GitHub organization with Copilot for Business or Copilot Enterprise enabled
• GitHub integration connected in Koalr (required — Copilot data is fetched via the same GitHub App token)
• Your GitHub App must have the copilot_usage: read permission (granted automatically if you re-authorize the GitHub integration after enabling Copilot for Business)

Setup

1. In Koalr, go to Settings → Integrations.
2. Click Connect next to GitHub Copilot.
3. Koalr uses your existing GitHub App token — no additional key is needed.
4. Click Enable. Koalr syncs the past 28 days of Copilot usage immediately.

Note: If you connected GitHub before enabling Copilot for Business, re-authorize the GitHub integration to grant the copilot_usage: read permission.

AI Analytics dashboard

After connecting, Copilot data appears in AI Analytics (/ai-analytics):

Tile	Description
Adoption rate	% of seats with ≥1 accepted suggestion in the last 28 days
Acceptance rate	Suggestions accepted ÷ suggestions shown
Est. hours saved	Accepted lines ÷ team's average lines/hour baseline
Top editors	Copilot usage distribution by IDE
PR impact	Cycle time delta: developers using Copilot vs. those who aren't

If Cursor is also connected, both tools appear side-by-side for a unified AI adoption view.

Acceptance rate benchmarks

Based on GitHub's published data across organizations:

Rate	Assessment
< 25%	Below average — consider enablement sessions
25–35%	Average
35–50%	Good
> 50%	Excellent

These benchmarks appear in the Metric Info modal (ℹ️) on each tile.

Privacy and visibility

• Per-developer suggestion counts are visible to Admins only by default
• Engineers see only their own stats, not peers' data, unless your org uses Full Transparency visibility
• No code content is accessed — Koalr reads only usage metadata counts from the GitHub Copilot Usage API

Troubleshooting

"Copilot usage data not available": Verify Copilot for Business is active on your GitHub organization and the GitHub App has copilot_usage: read. Reconnecting the GitHub integration from Settings → Integrations refreshes permissions.

Acceptance rate showing 0%: GitHub's Copilot API aggregates data with a 1-day delay. If you just enabled Copilot, wait 24–48 hours for data to appear.

Seat count doesn't match GitHub's dashboard: Koalr syncs Copilot seat data every 24 hours. If you recently added or removed seats, wait up to 24 hours for the count to update.
