GitHub is enhancing its Copilot AI assistant, introducing Agent Mode in Visual Studio Code, allowing it to autonomously perform coding tasks. This new mode can analyze high-level goals, suggest necessary files, and even fix errors on its own. CEO Thomas Dohmke emphasizes its increased capability to interact with developers' tools and services. Early feedback highlights the practical benefits of these features, indicating a significant shift in how developers can leverage AI in their coding workflows, especially with the support of new large language models through a premium request system.
GitHub Copilot is getting a whole lot more agentic with increased context of your tools and services, powered by the world's leading models, starting today.
Agent Mode is fundamentally capable of taking action to translate your ideas into code, unlike standard chat interactions or multi-file edits.
