The GitHub team introduces the Copilot agents panel, now integrated directly into github.com, allowing developers to use Copilot’s AI-powered features with full repository context. This video highlights how the new panel streamlines the development workflow online.

A First Look at the New Copilot Agents Panel on GitHub

GitHub has released an upgraded integration of GitHub Copilot—now accessible directly from within github.com through a new agents panel. This browser-native setup gives Copilot immediate access to your repository, issues, and pull requests without requiring users to leave the web environment.

Key Features

Native Browser Access: Use GitHub Copilot directly on github.com via a dedicated agents panel.
Full Repository Context: Copilot analyzes your codebase, issues, and pull requests to deliver more relevant, actionable suggestions.
Seamless Task Management: Perform development tasks with AI assistance—like code suggestions, issue triage, or pull request reviews—directly inside the web interface.
Reduced Context Switching: No need to juggle between desktop IDEs and browsers; work stays centralized on the GitHub site.

How It Works

Open any repository on github.com.
The Copilot agents panel appears in the browser, providing context-aware AI-powered assistance.
Run commands, get code suggestions, or ask questions about your code, issues, or pull requests—all within the same interface.

Benefits for Developers

Faster development cycles by minimizing workflow interruptions.
Better context for Copilot-generated outputs, since the AI sees your repository’s current state and related discussions.
Unified software development experience in a single web platform.
