GitHub Copilot app
GitHub's agent-first app that runs Copilot work from issue to merge, with multi-repo Projects, computer use and in-chat image generation.
Overview
At GitHub Universe on October 28, 2026, GitHub highlighted the GitHub Copilot app as one surface for agentic software delivery, from specs and design discussion through merge. Copilot projects, in public preview, run agent work across several repositories in parallel managed sessions and return pull requests for review. Computer use, in public preview on macOS and Windows, lets Copilot operate desktop apps that lack an API, CLI or MCP server, asks approval before controlling an app, and can be disabled by organizations through managed settings. The app also adds Slack and Figma context, session continuity across the app, VS Code, CLI and web, and image generation and editing in chat.
