Vision for agentic workflows in GitHub Copilot

• GitHub Copilot introduced in 2021 as an AI pair programmer to help developers stay in the flow, reduce boilerplate work, and accelerate coding.
• Future vision is to have AI agents in Copilot actively solve problems through multi-step reasoning and execution.

Our vision for what’s next

• GitHub Copilot will not only assist developers but also actively solve problems through multi-step reasoning and execution.
• Adaptive collaboration where Copilot can work in sync with you or independently in the background to drive progress.

Copilot in action: Taking steps toward our vision

• Agent mode allows for a real-time AI teammate inside your IDE to read context, apply changes, run tests, and iterate in a tight feedback loop.
• Coding agent works independently in the background, providing updates and feedback while you work on other tasks.
• Next stage focuses on smarter, leaner models to transform Copilot into a flexible AI teammate for any team size.

Less TODO, more done: The next stage of Copilot’s agentic future

• Smarter, leaner models are being developed to make Copilot a flexible AI teammate that can help teams plan, code, test, and ship with less friction and more speed.
