Microsoft has launched GitHub Spark, an AI-based platform that is meant to make it easier to create apps. It was announced July 23, 2025, and enables users to create full-stack applications through natural language prompts. The tool is already in public preview, and Copilot Pro+ subscribers can already use it. It is supposed to speed up the process of software development and make it available to everyone.
GitHub Spark does not require any complicated setupor configuration. One can simply explain their app idea using plain English, and the platform will create both frontend and backend. It is powered by Claude Sonnet 4 and has AI capabilities such as chatbots and recommendation engines. The road between an idea and production is simplified because developers can deploy apps with a single click.
The platform allows various approaches to app development. Users are able to begin with natural languages, visual editing tools or code editing by hand. GitHub Copilot offers auto-complete code to help. Each of the apps has its dedicated GitHub repository with GitHub Actions, which automate tasks, and Dependabot, which updates the app. This makes it fit perfectly with the current developer workflows.
GitHub Spark also provides a one-click deployment and safe hosting on Microsoft Azure. It has in-built support of AI models of OpenAI, Meta, DeepSeek, and xAI. There is no API key management, which eases the process of integrating AI. It also includes GitHub Codespaces to enable users to delegate tasks to AI agents to debug or to add features.
GitHub Copilot is currently available only to Copilot Pro+ subscribers, which costs $39 a month or $390 a year. Microsoft will soon make other GitHub Copilot plans available. The use of it uses up premium request credit that comes with the subscription. It can be used by developers at all levels, both novices and experienced ones.
The process of ideation to implementation is narrowed in GitHub Spark. It allows non-coders to make apps and pros to have a more efficient workflow. It saves time and reduces complexity through automation of setup and deployment. The platform might reshape the ways software is being created, making the process more open and efficient.
