AI-Powered Developer: Build software with ChatGPT and Copilot

AI tools for the working developer 💻

AI-Powered Developer: Build software with ChatGPT and Copilot is a hands-on guide to using generative AI where it actually matters: planning software, writing code, testing, debugging, documenting, deploying, and thinking through security. Rather than treating AI as a novelty, the book approaches ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot as practical development tools that can support real day-to-day work.

Built around a complete example application, the book moves through the development lifecycle in a logical sequence. That structure makes it easier to see how AI assistance changes as the work changes—from early architectural decisions to implementation details, from quality checks to infrastructure and deployment.

What the book covers

• Understanding large language models and when to use them in development
• Using ChatGPT to help with software design and planning
• Building code with GitHub Copilot and Copilot Chat
• Managing data, testing, and code-quality review with AI assistance
• Working through deployment, infrastructure, and security concerns
• Using LLMs to explain, translate, and assess code more effectively

Why it stands out

The book’s value lies in its concrete, workflow-based approach. Instead of isolated tips, it shows how AI can support an entire software project. That makes it useful for developers who want to understand not only what these tools can do, but also where they fit into a realistic engineering process.

Who it’s for

This title is aimed at intermediate software developers, and it assumes no prior AI experience. If you’re already comfortable building software and want a clear, practical introduction to AI-assisted development, this ebook offers a focused place to start.

For readers looking to work more efficiently with ChatGPT and Copilot while staying grounded in real engineering tasks, this is a smart, modern addition to the Digital Delights catalog.
