アレクサンダー.eth | U B I Q U I T Y, [8/18/2023 1:46 AM] I just realized that we probably would have a really good shot at building a relationship with “GitHub Next”

I’m checking out @rserr’s research at https://github.com/ubiquity/research/issues/58#issuecomment-1668713199 and he mentioned https://githubnext.com/projects/copilot-for-pull-requests/

@Jonjonjg u think u can lead the charge?

J G, [8/18/2023 4:46 AM] sure. are we looking at this for a personality enhancement with AI suggestions for ghost text or for copilot for PR? just setup the bounty and I will get it situated.

アレクサンダー.eth | U B I Q U I T Y, [8/18/2023 12:48 PM] github next seems to be an elite team at github that focuses on experimental features to enhance github. i think our bot has a handful of features that could be presented to them as something they might be able to support in some capacity, like promoting on their page or grants

J G, [8/18/2023 12:51 PM] Can I get a list of the top hooks currently available for them and future development and I will take a look / reach out

Define approach

Contact

We should check whether they are active now.

• They are not active on Twitter https://twitter.com/githubnext
• Check their Discord https://discord.com/invite/FeGshJZ2yy
• We can tag team members on GitHub https://githubnext.com/#team

For tagging on GitHub we can use

1. Alex's idea - go to their personal repos and post comments there.
2. Create a bounty, describe what we want from them, and tag all of them in the description like "Request for comments".

Proposal

Define our proposal to GitHub Next as an entity that should be discussed. It can be

• Payouts - crypto, others to be defined
• AI features - to be defined

The proposal to the GitHub Next individual team members can be

• Please provide positive and negative feedback on our product from GitHub's point of view.
• Please connect us with someone in GiHub who might be interested in our product.
• Please recommend how to develop our product more efficiently from the point of view of GitHub.
• As developers have experience with GitHub and AI, please recommend effective ways to use AI in our product.

Suggestion: for the context segment, you should link back to the original Telegram message, and place the content as quotes to make it clear that it's not original material you are writing for the specification.

This is a lovely proposal thanks for putting this together. Perhaps we can put together a little video. This is probably the most comfortable form of content consumption.

Payouts - crypto, others to be defined

• We should reference as much as we can about their GitHub Sponsors program because this is a loose parallel to our payments now.
• We can lightly touch on that we plan to have first party support for banking and debit cards.

AI features - to be defined

• https://github.com/ubiquity/ubiquibot/discussions/107 Roadmap of originally planned AI powered features.
• https://github.com/ubiquity/ubiquibot/issues/488 We are almost done with "duplicate issue handling" which is very useful from a utility standpoint!
• https://github.com/ubiquity/telegram-ubiquibot/issues/2 We also have a more experimental AI that listens for delegated tasks and places them on GitHub for issue tracking.
