The GitHub Copilot app is the agent-native desktop experience built on GitHub. Direct multiple coding agents in parallel from a single control center — each running in its own isolated environment, producing changes you can inspect, redirect, test, and merge. Just describe what you need in plain language: investigate a failing endpoint, scaffold a new project, or prepare a pull request. Copilot reads your code, identifies what needs to change, makes the edits, and handles the Git workflow. For larger tasks, start with a plan. Copilot scopes the work, asks clarifying questions, and outlines the steps before writing any code. Once the approach looks right, it executes autonomously or moves forward with your guidance at each step. Every session runs in its own git worktree — a real, isolated copy of your branch — so parallel agents never step on each other. No manual setup, no branch juggling, no cleanup. GitHub integration is built in. Issues, pull requests, branches, and CI are part of the conversation, so there's no context switching. Organization policies, branch protections, and required checks are respected automatically, so it fits existing team workflows with no extra configuration. And it adapts to how you work. Connect the tools your team already uses, define project-level conventions, and choose the AI model that fits each task. The goal is to stay out of your way and help you ship.

Code in natural language — describe what to build, fix, or refactor, and Copilot does the work Run agents in parallel — compare approaches across multiple agents and converge on the best result Choose your model — access leading AI models and switch between them per task Start from anywhere — kick off a session from an issue, a prompt, or a pull request already in flight Triage across repos — manage issues and PRs without leaving the app Work on a shared canvas — edit, reorder, and verify the same artifact alongside the agent Review and merge in one place — check diffs, fix failing CI, and merge when you're ready, in the same window the agent works in Bring your own setup — your MCP servers, plugins, and skills come together so you spend less time configuring and more time shipping

Improvements to scheduled workflows, cloud automation, and session management. For detailed release notes, see https://github.com/github/app/releases
