I think the terminology might be a bit confusing here. You’re thinking of Copilot the CLI tool, the version that integrates with VS Code and also runs standalone.
I’m talking about GitHub.com’s Copilot - the one built directly into the site itself. If you visit GitHub, you’ll see a small Copilot icon that lets you chat with any repository:

You could definitely still explore this as a quality learning experience. But as something you can monetize, it’s going to be a very steep uphill battle.
I’ve worked at a couple of organizations that have LLM-driven knowledge bases with connectors for Slack, Notion, and all of their private GitHub repositories, and they’re already using them to onboard new devs. It's just a very competitive space.
