The ability to ask Copilot chat about Actions job failures is now Generally Available. You can now press “Explain Error” from the PR mergebox or the Actions Job Page to kick off a conversation with Copilot about why a job failed and what steps can be taken to resolve the issue.

Mergebox
Within the mergebox, you can select the “More actions” option for a failing check and click “Explain Error” as seen below:

This will open Copilot chat and ask Copilot about this particular job.

Actions Job Page
You can go to the Job page for a failing job and press the “Explain Error” button next to the search bar for logs as seen below:

This will open Copilot chat and ask Copilot about this job.

Who has access to this capability?

“Explain Error” can only analyze one job at a time. It is available on all Copilot tiers, but does consume a chat message to use. See the Copilot subscriptions page for more information on limits per tier.
