 We've added a new tutorial about how to [Review AI-generated code](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/tutorials/review-ai-generated-code). The article gives techniques to verify and validate AI-generated code, and also suggests how Copilot can help with reviews.

-{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} can provide chat responses that are tailored to your personal preferences, the way your team works, the tools you use, or the specifics of your project, if you provide it with enough context to do so. Instead of repeatedly adding this contextual detail to your chat questions, you can create custom instructions that automatically add this information for you. The additional information is not displayed in the chat, but is available to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} to allow it to generate higher quality responses.

 ### Types of custom instructions
 
-* **Personal custom instructions** apply to all conversations you have with {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} across the {% data variables.product.github %} website. They allow you to specify your individual preferences, such as preferred language or response style, ensuring that the responses are tailored to your personal needs.

They allow you to specify your individual preferences, such as preferred language or response style, ensuring that the responses are tailored to your personal needs.
 * **Repository custom instructions** apply to conversations within the context of a specific repository. They are useful for defining project-specific coding standards, frameworks, or tools. For example, you can specify that a repository uses TypeScript and a particular library, ensuring consistent responses for all contributors.
 * **Organization custom instructions (public preview)** apply to conversations within the context of an organization on the {% data variables.product.github %} website. They are ideal for enforcing organization-wide preferences, such as a common language or security guidelines. Organization custom instructions can only be set by organization owners for organizations with a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} subscription.
