GitHub Copilot Agent Mode (Preview) is the autonomous coding feature in VS Code Insiders. Copilot plans, codes, runs tests, and fixes errors – all driven by your natural language requests.
Hi everyone!
Sharing something really exciting: GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, now available in VS Code Insiders! This is a major step towards truly autonomous AI-powered coding.
Essentially, you give Copilot a high-level goal in natural language, and it handles the implementation details, including running terminal commands. You stay in control, reviewing changes and approving command execution.
This is a preview, so expect it to evolve, but it's already a glimpse into the future of software development.
This is an impressive step towards autonomous coding! How does the Agent Mode handle complex coding tasks compared to the standard GitHub Copilot?
The ability to give Copilot a high-level goal and have it handle implementation details (including terminal commands) makes it feel much closer to a true AI coding assistant rather than just a smart autocomplete.
Technically, now we have a Tech Intern that does our work according to what we need, great :)
Awesome! As a builder of a tool to help devs automate and use ai more efficiently launching next month on product it's super interesting seeing others take on improving the dev workflow for devs. Will definitely be giving this a try! Congrats on your launch!
This is a real game-changer. It will revolutionize your coding experience. I'll give it a try and leave a review.
