GitHub Next: how their research and prototyping team operates
Briefly

GitHub Next operates as an innovation team focused on prototyping and testing new ideas, primarily in AI. The team is split into two sections: one concentrating on research aspects with a focus on machine learning and programming languages, while the other emphasizes front-end development and user experience. Their overarching goal is to identify viable projects that can transition into official GitHub products, ensuring a rigorous yet experimental approach in their development process.
Our job is to prototype new ideas and test viability. If we come across something that looks viable, help it graduate out and become a real GitHub product.
GitHub Next can be described as the department of fool around and find out because we're there to try things.
